The drawing depicts a tiger crouched low to the ground, facing the viewer. The tiger's body is angled to the right, with its tail extended behind it. The animal's fur is shaded with cross-hatching, indicating texture and depth. Its mouth is open, revealing sharp teeth. The tiger's ears are pointed upward. The background features a tree or bush on the right side and what appears to be a fence or wall on the left. The sky above is filled with lines suggesting clouds or sun rays. The entire scene is rendered in black and white, with the artist's signature "EUG. DELACROIX" in the bottom-left corner. The image has a distressed, aged appearance around the edges. The overall style is expressive and dynamic, characteristic of Romantic-era art.
