Untitled is a 1760 paint by Mihr Chand, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a tiger crouched over a herd of sheep in a grassy, wooded area. The tiger looks ready to pounce, while the sheep huddle together in fear. Tall trees and bushes fill the background, and the whole scene is framed by a dark, ornate border. The artist used bold colors—deep greens, earthy browns, and the tiger’s golden fur—to make the animals stand out. The sheep’s frightened expressions add tension to the scene.

The painting is an opaque watercolor on paper by Mihr Chand, created in 1760, depicting a violent confrontation between a lion and a buffalo beside a forest pool.

A Delhi-based miniaturist in the late 1700s, Mihr Chand painted delicate portraits and court scenes on paper the size of playing cards.
