"The Pasha's Favourite Tiger" is a painting by Rudolf Ernst, a German-born artist known for his Orientalist paintings. The painting depicts a man in traditional Middle Eastern attire, holding a chain attached to a majestic tiger, as they step out of a richly decorated building. Ernst’s detailed rendering of the setting and figures reflects his interest in portraying the exotic and captivating aspects of the East. The painting exemplifies the Orientalist genre, which was popular in Europe during the 19th century, and it evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue.
