Poster Prints From Heritage Images
Tigers and Leopard Frolicking, 1700s. Creator: Unknown
Tigers and Leopard Frolicking, 1700s. This monochrome composition depicts a tiger and her young playing at stalking one another in a stand of pine. Tigers, considered messengers of mountain spirits in Korean shamanism, were a common subject of folk painting in the later Joseon dynasty. Leopards were mistakenly thought to be baby tigers, which explains why the cat peering around the tree trunk at its mother is spotted. The title, signature, and seals at the upper left of the painting may have been added at a later date. The signature, " by the mountain recluse of Honam, " may refer to a painter from former Jeolla province

EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome composition, titled "Tigers and Leopard Frolicking, 1700s" transports us to the later Joseon dynasty in Korea. The unknown creator of this artwork skillfully depicts a heartwarming scene of a tiger and her young engaging in playful stalking amidst a serene stand of pine trees. In Korean shamanism, tigers were revered as messengers of mountain spirits, making them a popular subject in folk paintings during that era. Interestingly, leopards were often mistaken for baby tigers, which explains why the spotted cat peering around the tree trunk at its mother is depicted with spots. The upper left corner of the painting bears additional elements added at a later date: the title, signature, and seals. The signature reads "by the mountain recluse of Honam" possibly referring to an artist hailing from former Jeolla province. Dating back to the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), this hanging scroll captures not only artistic mastery but also cultural significance. It is rendered using ink on paper and currently resides within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has preserved this exquisite piece for generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness these majestic creatures frolicking harmoniously amidst nature's beauty.
