Tiger Painting Lieutenant

Dressed in a black military tunic with heavy gold epaulettes, this tiger stands to attention like an officer in an old regimental portrait. A gold embroidered collar edged in red frames its chin, a single row of gold buttons runs down the chest beside a red trim, and two gold star-shaped medals are pinned next to them. The tiger's coat is pale, almost white, with black stripes, a band of orange down the bridge of the nose and calm green eyes.

An officer's portrait on a white ground

The plain white background and the fine drawing give the canvas the look of an illustrated print, clean enough for a modern room while the uniform adds a touch of ceremony. The tall portrait format suits an entrance, a corridor or an office wall.
