Study of a Tiger

Antoine-Louis Barye

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a tiger. The drawing features a tiger lying down on a patch of ground, gazing directly at the viewer, with a backdrop of a rocky landscape. The tiger's body is stretched out, showcasing its distinctive stripes and elegant form. The scene is rendered with fine detail and shading, capturing the texture of the tiger's coat and the natural environment around it. The landscape has a subtle horizon line, gentle slopes, and sparse vegetation, all depicted with intricate line work. The drawing is bordered by a simple frame with the text "ETUDE DE TIGRE" beneath the image.
