“Combat of a Tiger and a Buffalo” Print
Etsy.com
Prices Vary
Are you as obsessed as I am with the new Facebook-becoming-Meta commercial with the painting come to life? No? Well, you can quit reading. For the rest of you, I did a little googling and found out the original piece is an oil-on-fabric from 1908 by French naïve artist Henri Rousseau. To see it in real life, head to the Cleveland Museum of Art (11150 E Blvd, Cleveland, Ohio, 216-421-7350). Meanwhile, you can buy a print or canvas wrap of the piece from various sellers on Etsy.com.
