"Tiger At Rest" is a painting by the German artist Rudolf Ernst (1854-1932). The painting depicts a tiger resting in the shadow of an ancient stone structure, likely inspired by a temple or palace in the Middle East or Asia. Ernst was known for his meticulous detail and lifelike depictions of animals, which can be seen in this artwork. The artwork is a testament to Ernst's skill in capturing the majestic power and grace of the tiger within a richly detailed and evocative setting. The use of light and shadow further enhances the dramatic effect of the painting, highlighting the grandeur of the architectural setting and the powerful presence of the tiger.
