Bian Zhuangzi Killing Tigers is an unspecified by Unknown, held at National Palace Museum.
This painting shows a man in traditional Chinese clothing, standing in a dynamic pose with his right arm raised and his left arm holding a sword. He is surrounded by a few men, some of whom are holding weapons, and there are two tigers on the ground. The scene appears to be a moment of action, with the man in the center of the composition seemingly about to strike one of the tigers. The use of muted colors and simple lines creates a sense of calmness, despite the intensity of the scene. The artist's use of negative space and subtle color palette adds to the overall sense of serenity, making this painting a unique representation of a dramatic moment.
