"Tijger" is a hanging scroll painting created by Japanese artist Kishi Ganku between 1800 and 1825. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a tiger in delicate brushstrokes, utilizing the "sumi-e" ink wash painting technique. The tiger, depicted with its head tilted upwards, is rendered with remarkable detail, showcasing Ganku's masterful skill in capturing the animal's form and presence. The scroll’s minimalist composition and serene aesthetic exemplify the beauty and strength of nature.
