About this work

This painting depicts a woman riding a tiger, holding a sword in her right hand and a spear in her left. She wears a purple top and a red skirt with white polka dots. The tiger is yellow with black stripes. The woman appears to be in motion, with her right leg bent and her left leg extended behind her. The background of the painting is green, with a few flowers visible behind the woman. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement.
