Provenance:

Waddington's Auctioneers, Toronto, ON, November 24, 1980, lot 181;
Private collection, Ontario

Note:

This striding bear, long and lithe, typifies the artist’s gift for the life-like portrayal of the subject. The carving has been carefully situated in the marvelously variegated green stone, to exploit the inherent colouration of the material.
