The painting vividly captures a dramatic and tragic moment where a tiger is fiercely attacking a woman, presumably an Indian figure, set against a shadowy, natural background. The woman's body bends backward almost in a desperate dance of survival, her hand raised as if attempting to fend off the ferocious beast. The tiger's powerful, muscular form is rendered with dynamic brushstrokes that convey both motion and raw strength, its jaws locked into the woman's flesh. The earthen tones dominate the palette, punctuated by the reddish-orange of the tiger's coat and the woman's drapery, pulling the viewer inexorably into this visceral struggle for life. The dark foliage envelops the scene, enhancing the sense of isolation and danger in a wild landscape. This compelling composition, charged with tension and raw emotion, showcases the artist's masterful use of light and shadow to heighten the drama and focus the gaze squarely on this violent encounter.
