The image depicts a tiger engaged in a struggle with two horses and humans in a rugged and mountainous landscape. The scene is detailed, showing the tiger with its mouth open and claws extended, and the horses rearing in movement. The background includes jagged rocks and sparse trees. The drawing resembles 19th-century lithographic work known for exotic and adventurous themes.
