DescriptionFramed and glazed. Image of a realistic, detailed, and vivid scene of a mother tiger with her limp tiger cub hanging from her mouth. The tiger stands in front of a row of bamboo stalks in a slightly stretching pose; her front two paws are close together, while her back leg (bottom left) is far apart and her back rises above her head.
Her tiger cub has the proportions of a small, limp child; all four paws are in the position of a human standing on their tip toes with their hands on at their sides.
