Javanese Landscape, with Tigers Listening to the Sound of a Travelling Group

What you see

In the lower left, two tigers lie in the undergrowth, heads turned toward the path. On the right, a man in a turban with a spear over his shoulder walks beside a dark dog and a white horse, ridden by a veiled woman holding a small child. Two tall palms rise between the two groups, and the eye jumps from the tigers to the travellers.

The sky glows gold and orange, with the sun low on the right, and the distant mountains fade into a violet haze. The tigers’ stripes almost melt into the dry grass. Seek out the stream running between the rocks in the foreground and the signature in the lower right corner.
