"A Captive Tiger" is one of the best known paintings of the popular Orientalism artist Rudolf Ernst. The captive tiger was among Ernst's most popular subjects, and commissions resulted in several variations on the theme. The composition allowed him to show off in one his diverse experiences, his rigorous draughtsmanship, and his mastery at rendering light, colour, and texture. The men's and animals' anatomies, the hunters' weapons and accoutrements, and the desert landscape are all observed with the same refinement to make for a compelling and sumptuous whole.
