Tiger Reclining Watercolour on wove paper mounted on board, 31.9 x 50.6 cm, by Antoine-Louis Barye (1795–1875) Brooklyn Museum |
||||||||||
|
A tiger lying on the ground,
its muscular form shaped by the natural folds of its body, drawing
on Barye’s realism through his command of anatomical accuracy and
expressive force. The animal looks directly at the viewer with an
intense, focused gaze, while its orange and black fur contrasts
against the earthy tones of the background. The scene presents a
sense of restrained energy and strength, with the tiger’s steady
posture reinforcing its presence. |
