Tigre Royal is a 1829 by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a tiger curled up on a rocky outcrop. The animal’s fur is marked with sharp stripes, and its head rests on its paws. Behind it, a wide, flat landscape stretches to distant hills and a lone mountain under a cloudy sky. The title *Tigre Royal* suggests this isn’t just any tiger—it’s a "royal" one, maybe from a zoo or a story. The artist focused on the animal’s wild power, even in rest. Want to see more?
