Visual Description
A young woman in a red embroidered gown and ornate headdress sits gently on the back of a large brown bear in a green clearing. Tall trees rise behind them and distant blue mountains peek through the trunks, while orange and yellow foliage suggests autumn. The woman holds a small object in her hands and gazes serenely forward, her long blonde hair flowing around her shoulders. The bear lies calmly with its head forward, appearing placid rather than aggressive.
