Pair of hanging scrolls in ink on silk: a tiger prowling at left and a dragon among clouds and waves at right.

Dragon; Tiger

A pair of hanging scrolls in ink on silk. On the left, a tiger with bared teeth turns toward the viewer, its striped tail curling across the lower ground. On the right, a dragon coils through dark swirling clouds above a wave-washed shore. Soft, diluted ink gives both images a misty, atmospheric quality.
