A large-scale, finely worked image shows a pale, tawny tiger leaping above a recumbent human figure against a deep black field; the animal's sinuous contours and carefully hatched textures read like a modern mythic tableau.

The composition balances stillness and motion, the sleeping human form below giving the scene a dreamlike, allegorical tension. Executed with delicate line work and subtle pastels, the print is matted and framed with a wide off-white border; a printed caption along the lower margin identifies the work and situates it within a late 20th-century modern Indian practice, lending the piece both narrative clarity and museum-like presence.
