EDITORS COMMENTS
This chalk drawing, titled "Resting Tiger," dates back to circa 1918, showcasing the timeless beauty and raw power of the majestic feline. The artist, unknown but believed to be William Armitage, masterfully captured the tiger's essence with precise lines and subtle shading. The tiger is depicted in a relaxed pose, with hunched shoulders and a direct gaze towards the viewer. The tiger's piercing eyes seem to penetrate the very soul, creating an unbreakable connection between the animal and the observer. The drawing is rendered in black and white, adding to the stark contrast and depth of the image. The tiger's fur is meticulously detailed, with each individual strand seemingly brought to life through the artist's skilled hand. The use of chalk as the medium adds a textured, almost tactile quality to the piece, inviting the viewer to reach out and touch the image. This rare and exquisite drawing was originally published in a February volume of a magazine, adding to its historical significance. The image has been preserved and made accessible through the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The "Resting Tiger" is not only a testament to the artist's skill but also a reminder of the enduring allure and fascination that tigers hold in our collective imagination.
