Featured in this lot is a Philip R. Goodwin bronze statue of a walking bear titled, "Walking Bear. Philip Russell Goodwin's natural born talent for illustration became evident very early on and by age eleven he had already sold works to Collier's magazine. Goodwin studied under Howard Pyle at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia from 1899-1900. He agreed to his master's belief that an artist should spend time in the environment which he is illustrating. Goodwin also studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Students League in New York. Goodwin's illustrations were published in magazines such as Harper's Monthly and Harper's Weekly, Scribner's and celebrated books such as "Call of the Wild" by Jack London and "African Game Trails" by Theodore Roosevelt. The statue sits on a marble base with green felt on the bottom. The front of the bronze features a gold metal tag reading, "Walking Bear, A limited Edition, Philip R. Goodwin". The bear itself is marked on the front reading, "Goodwin". The statue is in good condition with no signs of obvious damage. The statue measures 6" L x 4 1/2" W x 3 1/8" H.
