About the piece
Painted around 1800 by the English animalier Charles Towne, this oil on panel captures a rare moment of stillness between two majestic tigers. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro highlights the intricate patterns of their fur and the powerful musculature of the resting animals, set against a deep, mysterious backdrop of dark earth and subtle foliage.
