Landscape with hunter and tiger. China, late 19th-early 20th century. In porcelain. Signed. Measurements: 15.3 x 22.3 x 2 cm Chinese society liked, throughout its history, to decorate their residences with paintings and embroideries representing natural elements. In this case the artist focuses his attention on a hunting scene starring a warrior assaulting a tiger. The scene takes place in a natural setting determined by the meticulousness of each of the flowers and leaves of the trees. The precision of the line is one of the characteristics of Chinese painting, together with a certain chromatic restraint, as can be seen in this case, where the range of pinks and greens is enriched only by certain touches of earth and sienna in the figure of the tiger.
