Lopende figuren Possibly 1877

"Lopende figuren" is a detailed pencil and watercolor drawing of a tiger in profile, created by John Macallan Swan in 1877. The drawing features the tiger walking with a powerful and graceful stride, captured with meticulous detail, from the stripes to the muscles. Swan, known for his animal studies, masterfully conveys the tiger's energy and wildness. This work is a prime example of Swan's focus on capturing the essence of his subjects, highlighting both their physical form and inner life. It currently resides at the Rijksmuseum.
