Ashmolean Museum Erin Christopher, Illustrator and Animator, brings this little 18th-century bear cub to life.
This artwork was originally painted by Japanese artist Mori Shūhō. Shūhō was a member of the Mori School of artists who specialised in depictions of animals. It features in an album of paintings and calligraphy by various artists – an artistic trend which was popular in early-19th-century Japanese art. These albums were made for all sorts of reasons; to celebrate someone’s venerated old age, to wish a friend farewell, for an exhibition; or to commemorate a meeting or visit.
