Fight between a Tiger and a Buffalo

Henri Rousseau

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a tiger and a buffalo in a jungle setting. A tiger with orange fur and black stripes crouches on the left side, its body partially hidden by green leaves. The tiger appears to be attacking a gray buffalo on the right, which bends its head down towards the ground and has a large hump on its back. The jungle scene is dense with green plants, leaves, and trees. Several plants have long, thin green leaves, while others have larger, more rounded leaves or clusters of yellow flowers. Orange fruits are visible on some of the plants. In the background, a blue sky is visible through the foliage, with two pink flowers on the right side. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
