Black Bear Cub In Snow Print

£10.00

A 11 x 14" print of Black Bear Cub in Snow by Mori Shūhō.

This painting of a black bear cub in the snow by Mori Shūhō was the first painting in an album of paintings and calligraphy, and was made when the artist was sixty-two. The small bear with blue eyes looks directly out at us as he sits uneasily on a ledge amid the snowflakes. His furry coat is painted with the skill befitting a Mori school artist.⁠

Supplied unframed, this print comes with a backing board and is sealed in a clear cellophane pocket. Fits perfectly into one of our mini print frames.
