If you are interested in purchasing this amazing etching where every feature in the background adds to the tension of the tigers fighting—note, for example, how the bamboo thicket on the right provides the suggestion of resistance to the thrust of the sloping ground and the angle of the leaning trees on the left—please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
