I want to obtain a print of a painting, which -may- be called "Who
Killed the Bear?" It is painted in the style of C. M. Russell or
Frederick Remington, and I believe the original is an oil painting.
In a snowy mountain pass, towards dusk, a man raises one arm in
greeting as he approaches a scene of the aftermath of a violent
confrontation between a large brown bear and a man on the ground still
alive after the struggle. The man approaching holds a rifle in one
hand, his horse a few steps behind him. In the foreground, the bear
appears to be dead or dying while the man on the ground, alive but
mauled, looks toward the other man, perhaps 5 steps away.
The question is, of course, did the man who came upon the scene save
the other's life by killing the bear, or did he arrive too late to
change the outcome of the battle?
I have a very poor quality and small jpeg of this print. |
