    looking for lithography of tiger gives a lot of results (really people are obsessed with tigers, aren't they? ), adding Estonian gave the correct result

    You got it! It's said that tiger was one of his favourite motifs and it's probably one of his best known works around here.

    That looks a lot like Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, but the colours looking to modern...

    It's not Raffaello, but you are not far

    about the colors: actually this was the real color of most of the paintings and frescoes from the Renaissance period, but most of them have lost them due to natural causes, because the colors all have some organic component (mostly the "glue" part, usually egg white or fish/rabbit glue, just to mention few of those used at the time), so most of those works did lose their original colors even after 50 years or less.
    As a hint I can say you that this one is a painting and that is conserved in one, if not the most, famous Italian museum.

    this artwork is considered by many to be the very first pertaining to the Mannerism

    Another hint

    this is the only confirmed painting from the author, which was mostly involved in sculpturing, frescoes and architecture stuff.

    so to recap

    That's a painting, and the artist has something to do with Raffaello. The maker himself isn't famous for painting but rather for sculptures and frescoes (and some architecture), even though this specific artwork is considered to be the very first pertaining to Mannerism. It is conserved in the most well known Italian museum.

    Yes that's the museum I refer to, but we still miss the artwork's name, anyways

    bump, one last hint: the artwork is know with two different names actually, the most common one has to do with the shape of it ("round" as translated in Italian).

    Ok, I found it when I searched about the museum. It's Doni Tondo by Michelangelo.

    The style is also very characteristic of the author..

    yes I know who that is, but let's see if someone else would give that a go
