"A tiger stalks through a jungle, its eyes bulging and whiskers upright with terror, presumably at the flash of lightning in the sky. The drama of the moment is enhanced by the strong wind and lashing rain which is applied on top of the painting with a translucent varnish-like material. Rousseau claimed his jungle pictures were inspired during his time in Mexico with the French army. In fact he had never been abroad and had to make his studies of exotic flora and fauna at the botanical gardens in Paris."
