From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Head of a Tigress. is a 10 by John Frederick Lewis, a Romanticism work, depicting Tiger, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a close-up of a tiger's head, with its ears perked up and whiskers visible. The tiger's eyes are looking straight ahead, and its mouth is slightly open, showing its teeth. The background is a light color, which helps the tiger stand out. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a lot of detail in the tiger's fur and facial features. The artist has used shading and texture to make the tiger look lifelike. The overall effect is one of power and intensity, as if the tiger is about to pounce.
