About the Item
This striking 19th-century color lithograph depicts a dramatic hunting scene titled Chasse à l’Ours (Russie). Set within a vast, snow-covered landscape, the composition captures a moment of intense confrontation between hunters and a charging bear. The figures are animated with powerful movement and expressive gestures, creating a strong narrative tension that immediately draws the viewer into the scene.
The work was drawn and lithographed by Gustave Doré, one of the most influential illustrators of the 19th century, celebrated for his monumental imagination, theatrical compositions, and mastery of dramatic contrast. Doré’s fascination with untamed nature and heroic struggle is fully expressed here, making the lithograph a quintessential example of Romantic graphic art popular in France and England during the mid-19th century.
Published in Paris in 1862, as indicated on the plate, and produced by a renowned Parisian printer, this work bears clear signs of historical authenticity and period craftsmanship. The print is very likely hand-colored, a common 19th-century practice in which a black-and-white lithographic impression was later enhanced with delicate washes of watercolor or gouache, adding depth and atmosphere to the image.
The lithograph is presented in an elegant gilded wooden frame and glazed for protection. It is mounted with a wide margin that enhances the composition and provides a refined, gallery-quality presentation. The reverse shows surface wear and patina consistent with age, further supporting a production date likely between 1850 and 1880.
This work would make a compelling focal point in a classical, eclectic, or library interior, appealing to collectors of 19th-century prints, Romantic art, and works by Gustave Doré. Rich in drama, history, and visual power, it stands as a timeless testament to Doré’s artistic legacy.
