This painting depicts a dramatic scene of dogs attacking a bear in a rocky, mountainous landscape. The bear, positioned in the center, appears to be defending itself against the canine assault. The dogs, with their tails raised and mouths open, are shown in various poses, conveying a sense of movement and tension. The background features a rugged, rocky terrain with a blue sky visible in the distance. In the foreground, the bear's fur is rendered in dark, muted tones, while the dogs' coats display a range of colors, including brown, black, and white. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of intense energy and conflict. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and drama to the scene. This painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
