Tiger

About this work

This sketch shows a tiger crouched low, its body coiled like a spring. The fur is drawn in quick, rough strokes—dark browns and blacks with lighter patches for texture. The tiger’s head is turned slightly, eyes half-hidden, and its front paws rest on the ground. The artist used watercolor, letting the paper show through for a sketchy, unfinished look. The lines are loose but confident, focusing on the animal’s powerful shape. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
