Two Tigers At Play

This dynamic and vivid painting titled “Two Tigers at Play” (双虎嬉戏图) by artist Yang Bailiang captures a rare and intimate moment between two tigers in the wilderness. Set against a backdrop of autumn trees with falling leaves, the painting radiates both strength and grace, blending raw power with a sense of harmony in nature. The tigers are depicted mid-motion alert yet relaxed, fierce yet affectionate conveying both their majestic presence and their natural behavior. The artist uses fluid brushstrokes and subtle ink washes to portray the texture of fur, the movement of muscles, and the softness of the surrounding earth and grass. Tigers in Chinese culture are symbols of courage, vitality, and protection.
