Description: TODAY'S ITEM FOR AUCTION IS: RARE EASTERN EUROPEAN BEAR HUNT, ATTACK SCENE ca1850'S OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS. 22 1/2 X 30 1/2 INCHES. WE ARE SHOWING THE FRAME, (36" X 26") HOWEVER, WE PREFER NOT TO SHIP IT. IT WILL BE AN EXTRA COST IF WE DO. THE PAINTING ITSELF WILL SHIP FOR FREE. AN UNUSUAL CASE WHERIN THE CANVAS WAS REMOVED FROM ORIGINAL FRAME BY THE FRAMER. THE ORIGINAL CANVAS WAS LAID OVER AND RESTORED ON A NEW CANVAS AND THEN REFRAMED IN A 2ND FRAME WHICH HAS A NUMBER OF CHIPS AND NICKS AROUND IT. SO, ORIGINAL ART CANVAS SHOWING AN 1850'S HUNT SCENE OF BEARS ON A NEWER MOUNT STRETCHED WITH WOOD BASE. NOTE THAT WE BELIEVE THE PAINTING DEPICTS AN 1850'S BEAR HUNTING SCENE. THE PAINTING COULD BE THAT OLD, BUT AS WITH OTHER SCENES OF THIS GENRE, SOME PAINTINGS WERE ACTUALLY DONE IN THE 1870'S-1880'S BY ARTISTS FOLLOWING THE PATH OF OTHERS DOING HUNT SCENES, SUCH AS ALEXEI KIVSHENKO, THEODORE BREIDWISER AND LUDWIG PIETSCH. THE PAINTING CONSISTS OF FOUR HUNTERS IN TYPICAL OUTFITS OF THE 1850'S. TWO BEARS ON STANDING ON BACK LEGS IN ATTACK MODE. ONE ON THE RIGHT HAVING BITTEN ONE OF THE HUNTERS ON THE LEG, AS THE HUNTER ATTEMPS TO STAB THE BEAR WITH A LONG KNIFE. HIS PERSONAL ITEMS LAY NEAR HIM. TWO OF THE HUNTERS CARRY FLINTLOCK RIFLES. FAR LEFT HUNTER HOLDS A ROSATINA, A BEAR AND BOAR HUNTING SPEAR THAT WAS USED TO KEEP THE BEAR BACK AS THE OTHER HUNTERS ATTACKED. THERE ARE ALSO 3 HUNTING DOGS ALL WITH LONG SPIKED COLLARS FOR PROTECTION. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS WE WILL ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THEM.
