Illustration to 'The crane and heron. Bear.' 1907

This 1907 illustration by Ukrainian artist Heorhiy Narbut depicts a bear standing on its hind legs, holding two walking sticks in the snowy wilderness. The scene is illuminated by a large, white moon, casting a soft glow over the landscape. The artist uses a minimalist style, with simple lines and flat colors, to create a sense of tranquility and wonder. This illustrative artwork, likely part of a children's book, embodies the artistic style of the early 20th century and Narbut’s ability to capture the beauty and mystery of the natural world.
