About the piece

Created around 1860, this evocative work by renowned French artist Antoine-Louis Barye captures the powerful yet tranquil presence of a tiger. Known for his animalier subjects, Barye uses a sophisticated tonal palette of ochres and deep browns to render the animal within a sketch-like, mountainous setting that emphasizes its form and natural dignity.
