Tiger in a Castle Courtyard - Oil Painting

An imposing tiger strides through a sunlit castle courtyard, depicted as a rich oil painting on canvas. Thick impasto brushstrokes and glazed layers give palpable texture to the fur, stone, and ivy. Warm amber, ochre, and emerald tones create a regal, timeless atmosphere. The courtyard features weathered stone arches, creeping ivy, and soft, dappled light; the tiger stands poised in the center with a curling tail, muscular definition, and piercing gaze. The composition channels classical Renaissance and Baroque sensibility with dramatic lighting, painterly texture, and a slightly crackled surface.
