This is an original John L. Clarke bronze sculpture from East Glacier Park, Montana. Clarke was born to a Scottish/Blackfeet father and a mother who was the daughter of a Blackfeet chief in 1881. An illness of Scarlet Fever left him deaf and mute since the age of two. Later in life, he worked out of his studio in East Glacier Park where he would create his carvings, sculptures and paintings. This is a wonderful bronze sculpture done by Clarke showing a young black bear cub walking along a stone pathway. The piece shows fantastic detail and artistic ability. One side is marked "6/25" and the other is signed "J.L. Clarke". The bronze sculpture is in good condition. It measures 1.5" x 3.25" and is 4" tall.
