A leaping Bengal tiger bursts from a tangle of wild grass in this vivid Chinese ink-and-wash painting postcard — the beast's amber flanks, bared teeth, and raking claws rendered with the explosive brushwork of the traditional xieyi ("freehand") school. The artist's colophon in running-script calligraphy fills the upper left, accompanied by multiple red seal impressions, one of which reads a cyclical date suggesting the painting was executed in a xin year (likely 1971 or 1931). Issued by the People's Post of China (中国人民邮政) as a pre-stamped postal card, the reverse carries a 4-fen imprinted stamp depicting a Han-dynasty gilt-bronze mythical beast on an orange ground — a stamp catalogue staple of PRC stationery collectors. The red vertical chop on the reverse reads 恭贺新禧 ("Respectful New Year Congratulations"), confirming this was part of a lunar new year greeting series, almost certainly tied to the Year of the Tiger. These cards, unused and crisp, are increasingly sought by both Chinese philatelic stationery collectors and fans of traditional Chinese animal painting.
