EDITORS COMMENTS
Man Bitten on Arm by Tiger (verso)" is an intriguing 19th century artwork, captured in opaque watercolor on paper. The image, of unknown origin, presents a man in a state of intense suffering, with a tiger clamping down on his arm, leaving a trail of blood. The man's nakedness and the stark contrast between his pale skin and the fiery orange of the tiger add to the dramatic effect of the scene. The artwork is believed to be from the South East Asian continent, possibly from India or Hindustan, given the rich cultural and artistic heritage of these regions. The influence of Jainism, with its emphasis on karma and the concept of punishing sinners, is evident in the depiction of the man's suffering. The artwork is significant not only for its visual impact but also for its historical value. It offers a glimpse into the artistic traditions of the 19th century, a time when watercolor was a popular medium for creating intricate and detailed works of art. The use of watercolor on paper also adds to the fragility and rarity of the piece, making it a valuable addition to any collection. The artwork is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to intrigue and inspire visitors from around the world. Its mysterious origins and the story it tells through its vivid colors and intricate details make it a fascinating piece of art history, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage of the Asian continent.
