Hunting a Tiger in Korea

Comments - Interesting scene of a warrior hunting a tiger in Korea. The huge cat climbs atop a rock behind him, growling and baring its teeth. The warrior seems unconcerned with the closeness of the wild animal, shielding his eyes with his hand as he calmly looks up at it. He carries a pole arm in his other hands, and a sword hangs at his side. A leafy tree frames the cloud-dotted sky overhead, with a waterfall rushing over a cliff in the background. An interesting subject with lively calligraphic line work.
