About the piece
Created in 1886 by the renowned artist Ju Lian, this ink and color work on paper captures a tiger in a moment of quiet repose. The artist employs delicate brushwork to suggest the soft texture of fur and the ruggedness of the terrain, complemented by subtle washes of blue-green and earth tones that evoke a serene, natural atmosphere characteristic of late Qing dynasty painting.
