An Ink Painting of a Tiger

Late 19th or early 20th century, Japanese or Korean, ink and ink wash on silk, very finely painted tiger with front paw raised and mouth open with teeth showing, eyes looking upwards, perhaps from a larger composition that would have included a moon above, framed under glass, not examined outside of frame.
