Associated Names
Eugène Delacroix

Artist, French, 1798 - 1863

This is a drawing of a large feline in a natural setting. The drawing depicts a feline crouched on the ground with its body positioned towards the viewer. Its tail is curved upward, and its expression is one of focus and alertness. The backdrop suggests a natural environment, sketched with trees or bushes and some foliage. The strokes are expressive and sketch-like, capturing the essence of motion and environment with minimal detail. The artist's signature, "Eug. Delacroix," can be seen at the bottom left of the drawing.
