A Bear Hunt

Augustin Hirschvogel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man standing next to several bears. The man has curly hair and a beard. He wears a tunic with a belt around his waist and another across his body, plus boots. He looks to the left. The bears are various sizes and positions. One bear lies on its back on the left, with its mouth open and paws raised. Other bears around it appear to be fighting or playing. In the background, there are several trees on the left and a hill with buildings on the right. A castle or fortified building rests atop the hill. The scene appears to be in a wooded area. The image is rendered in black and white.
