About the piece

Created in 1889 by the renowned Russian landscape painter Ivan Shishkin, with the bear figures added by Konstantin Savitsky, this piece is one of the most beloved works of the Realist movement. The painting captures the pristine majesty of the forest at dawn, where golden morning light filters through a thick mist to reveal a mother bear and her cubs climbing upon a massive, splintered pine log.
