Description

A 19th Century French exotic themed, hand-painted, decoupaged and mirrored depiction of a young animal trainer and his bear. 

The figural scene is cut and mounted between glass and a mirror backing, showing a boy training a standing bear. The boy wears a red robe and cap with a gold neckpiece. The bear is on a lead and holds a walking stick.

The mirror is presented in a French rococo-style scroll carved giltwood frame. 

A very heavy and unusual piece.

20 in. L x 14 in. W x 1 in. H

The mirror shows scattered losses to the silver backing. The frame has scattered nicking and some separation at the miters.
