You see a big bear in the center of the painting. The bear is the main focus, and it's interesting because it's shown in a simple, yet powerful way. The artist used strong lines to draw the bear, which makes it look strong and fierce. Check out the work of artist Barye, Antoine-Louis to see more of his animal drawings.
