A striking contemporary painting by John Dawson (Mesa, Arizona, 2012) depicting a large tiger standing in profile alongside a small white lamb in a dense tropical foliage setting. The composition draws on the "Peaceable Kingdom" allegory - the classical biblical and artistic tradition of predator and prey in harmonious coexistence. The tiger's bold orange and black stripes are rendered with confident brushwork against layers of green vegetation, with a distinctive band of horizontal coloured stripes (blue, purple, pink) across the upper background providing a graphic, contemporary feel that sets it apart from traditional wildlife painting. The innocent white lamb stands calmly before the tiger, the contrast between the animals and the vibrant setting creating a compelling and thought-provoking image. The artist's full name and address on verso confirm direct provenance and date of production.<br>
