Crouching Tiger in the Desert

Eugène Delacroix

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white etching of a tiger crouching on the ground. The tiger's body is angled to the left, with its head lowered and tail extended behind it. Its fur is dark with lighter patches. The background features a desert-like landscape with sparse vegetation and a cloudy sky. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom left, and a small text reading "Imp. Delâtre, Paris" is at the bottom right. The etching is set against a white background with a subtle border.
