Tiger Sleeping at the Entrance to its Lair (Tigre couché à l'entrée de son antre)
The image displays dark, swirling lines and cross-hatching forming abstract shapes across the canvas. The strokes create depth and shadows. Among the patterns, a form resembling a reclining figure can be seen. The composition invites exploration of the familiar through abstraction.
