[Two Bears] 1889

"Two Bears" is a photogravure by Ottomar Anschütz, captured in 1889. The image depicts two bears, one standing upright and the other crouched near a log, creating a dynamic composition. The photogravure, a process that uses etching and photographic printing, showcases Anschütz's mastery of capturing details and textures. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies his ability to capture the raw beauty of nature and the natural world.
