Stalk in the Quiet Hills

Stalk in the Quiet Hills shows a moment where stillness and alertness meet in perfect balance. Mahaveer Swami paints the cheetah low to the ground, its body curved in a patient crouch, ready to move yet held in complete control. The soft stippling along the fur gives the animal a gentle texture that contrasts with the smooth slopes of the surrounding landscape. Across the rocky rise, the mountain goat lowers its head as it steps carefully down the incline, unaware of the watcher beyond the tall stone formation.

The backdrop is filled with pale hills and delicate foliage that create a calm, open atmosphere. Three birds glide through the sky, adding lift and movement to the otherwise quiet scene. The natural black ink on old handmade paper gives the artwork a classic, archival clarity that highlights every curve of muscle, rock and branch.

It is a composition shaped by silence, contrast and patient storytelling.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• A thoughtful study of tension between predator and prey
• Fine ink detailing brings texture to both the animals and the landscape
• Soft hills and light foliage create a spacious, balanced setting
• Ideal for collectors who appreciate narrative miniature art with calm, natural focus
