DescriptionThree bears sit on a rock in the foreground. The two cubs roll around together and the larger bear looks on. Behind the rock a person wearing a red shirt looks on. From the left corner, a river moves back in the distance to a mountain whose peak is light by the afternoon sun. Included in the hard file is a photo of the painting next to the calendar it was used on in 1937.Status
