Tiger, Tigress and Cub 1892

"Tiger, Tigress and Cub" is a six-panel screen painting by Kishi Chikudō, a prominent Japanese artist known for his detailed animal depictions. Created in 1892, the artwork showcases the masterful brushwork and delicate detail of Japanese painting during the Meiji period. The screen depicts a majestic tiger with its tigress and cub, resting majestically against a pale gold background, highlighting the animals' powerful presence and emphasizing the delicate balance between strength and tenderness in nature. The screen is a testament to the artist's talent and a notable example of Japanese artistic tradition, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
