Tigers and Leopard Frolicking, 1700s. Creator: Unknown
Tigers and Leopard Frolicking, 1700s. This monochrome composition depicts a tiger and her young playing at stalking one another in a stand of pine. Tigers, considered messengers of mountain spirits in Korean shamanism, were a common subject of folk painting in the later Joseon dynasty. Leopards were mistakenly thought to be baby tigers, which explains why the cat peering around the tree trunk at its mother is spotted. The title, signature, and seals at the upper left of the painting may have been added at a later date. The signature, " by the mountain recluse of Honam, " may refer to a painter from former Jeolla province
