Late 20th-century Oil on Canvas Board Wildlife Painting Depicting Rhinoceros and Tiger - This late 20th-century oil painting on canvas board, signed and dated 1979, portrays a wildlife encounter in a naive, representational style. The composition features a large rhinoceros and its calf in the foreground, facing off against a tiger partially obscured by tall, dry grasses. The scene is set against a subdued background featuring a body of water and distant foliage under a pale, grey-blue sky. The artist's brushwork is particularly evident in the textured rendering of the foreground vegetation and the simplified, heavy forms of the animals. The work is signed and dated in white pigment to the lower left 'DAVIS 79'. No other maker marks, labels, or inscriptions are visible on the canvas board.
