Source Description
In this dark, stormy scene, the tiger has coiled himself up as though asleep. Barye altered the composition when applying the pigments, and the outlines of the original placement of the tiger have become visible through the paint surface. Sleeping tigers in simiar poses occur in Barye's watercolors in the collection of Georges Wildenstein, New York.
