Adding to the narrative is a small fox-like animal in the foreground, which seems to be interacting with the tiger in its moment of suffering. This secondary character adds depth to the story, hinting at the interconnectedness of life in the wild.Samuel Howitt's skillful use of watercolors enhances the intensity and emotion of the scene. His attention to detail not only in the creatures’ features but also in the natural setting, creates a vivid and dynamic tableau.
