About this work

This etching shows a bear curled up in a forest. The animal’s fur is dark and textured, with its head resting on its paws. Around it, trees and leaves fill the background, drawn with fine, crisscrossed lines. The artist used a technique that creates deep shadows and sharp details. This makes the bear look almost three-dimensional. Look up etching to see how artists like this make prints.
