About the painting
This monochrome composition depicts a tiger and her young playing at stalking one another in a stand of pine. Tigers, considered messengers of mountain spirits, and are often paired with leopards, mistakenly thought to be baby tigers.
The signature written at the upper left of the painting reads "The mountain recluse of Honam," possibly referring to a painter from Jeolla province in Korea.
