EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported to a moment of tranquility and raw power. "A Sleeping Tiger" by William Huggins, created in 1876, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail through his skilled use of pencil and chalk on paper. The image measures 13.3x22.8 cm, inviting us into an intimate study of this majestic creature. The tiger lies peacefully on its side, its massive body occupying the center of the composition. Every stroke of Huggins' pencil captures the texture of its fur with remarkable precision, revealing the animal's strength even in repose. Its eyes are closed as it succumbs to a deep slumber, emphasizing both vulnerability and grace. This drawing evokes a sense of awe and reverence for nature's beauty and complexity. The artist masterfully conveys not only the physical characteristics but also the essence of this magnificent beast – its untamed spirit that remains dormant while it rests. Displayed against a plain background, devoid of any distractions or embellishments, our focus is solely directed towards this sleeping tiger. As we observe every line and shadow meticulously rendered by Huggins' hand, we cannot help but be drawn into an atmosphere charged with anticipation – aware that at any moment those eyes may open wide again. "A Sleeping Tiger" is part of a private collection curated by eAckermann Johnson and made available through Bridgeman Images. This timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers across generations with its ability to transport
