The setting is a medieval tent with a flag flying from the top. A sleepy bear, wearing an eagle helmet, is slumped on a barrel, a rifle to his side. Holding a bottle, the bear is likely inebriated. Around the corner a bear, wearing a Bicorne hat, is poking his nose out of the tent. The piece sits on a round marble base. The top of the tent is hinged and opens to access the inkwell.
Estimated value: $250
