Surprised!
The artist
Henri Rousseau, a French self-taught painter known for bold, storybook jungle scenes.
What you see
A tiger crouches low in tall grass during a wild storm, looking startled and ready to pounce.
The story
Painted in 1891 and often called 'Surprised!', this was Rousseau's very first jungle picture.
The style
Silvery streaks of rain slant across the whole painting, showing the wind and the storm.
Look closer
The tiger's wide eyes and bright teeth make him look as surprised as the title says.
Where to see it
You can see it at the National Gallery in London, England.
Fun fact
Rousseau said the tiger is jumping at its prey, but no one is sure what surprised it so much.
