Tiger shooting in East Berar

Executed in oil with a palette of muted earth tones, the piece employs broad, fluid brushwork characteristic of British Romanticism’s emphasis on atmosphere over detail. The simplified color scheme and swift strokes convey the expansive, sun‑baked terrain and the movement of the crowd without rendering intricate textures, reinforcing a sense of immediacy.

After its creation, the painting entered the collection of the National Library of Wales, where it remains accessible to scholars and the public. Its presence in a Welsh institution underscores Griffiths’s dual identity as a Welsh artist who spent much of his career documenting Indian subjects.
