"Bear Cub" is a painting by the Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani, known for his naive style, where he portrays a bear cub standing on its hind legs against a simple backdrop. The painting is noted for its vibrant colors and thick paint application, and it captures the essence of the animal's presence in a direct and engaging way. This work, now housed in the Art Museum of Georgia in Tbilisi, is representative of Pirosmani's distinct artistic vision, which often focused on everyday life and nature.
