Snowy Path with Bear Footprints Print, Framed

This is a framed nature-themed print, likely a limited edition or open edition print, depicting a snowy landscape with prominent bear footprints. The scene features a path of bear tracks winding through an uphill snowy terrain, flanked by bare trees and bushes with a reddish-purple hue suggested for the foliage, possibly indicating winter or early spring. Large rocks are also visible on the sides of the winding path. A soft, warm light, possibly from a sunrise or sunset, illuminates the upper right portion of the scene. The print itself is matted with a wide, off-white mat board, which shows a light brown shadow of a bear paw print on its bottom left section, adding a unique, thematic element to the presentation. The artwork is enclosed within a dark brown, possibly wood or wood-look, frame with a simple, flat profile. The frame appears to be in good condition with minor visible wear consistent with display. The glass or acrylic glazing covering the print shows some reflections, indicating it is present and protecting the artwork. The print itself appears well-preserved with no obvious signs of fading, tears, or significant damage. A signature, possibly 'Roderick', is visible in the bottom right corner of the print, suggesting the artist's name. The overall piece has a rustic, wilderness aesthetic, likely appealing to those who appreciate wildlife and natural landscapes. It appears to be a contemporary piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, given its style and framing.
