Der Bärenzwinger im zoologischen Garten (The Bear Pit in the Zoological Gardens) is a 1851 ink by Adolph von Menzel, a Impressionism work, depicting Bear, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a bear pit in a zoological garden. It's an old scene with a bear and some people watching. The artist, Adolph Menzel, drew this in 1851, and it's interesting because he was very young when he made it, and you can see his early style. To learn more about this kind of art, look up the technique: lithography.
Adolph Friedrich Erdmann von Menzel was a German Realist artist noted for drawings, etchings, and paintings.
