Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear, 1969-1971 by Virginio Livraghi

Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear, by Virginio Livraghi depicts the two anthropomorphic animal characters pausing together on a grassy alpine trail, Brer Bear carrying a bundled sack over his shoulder as Brer Rabbit gestures animatedly beside him. The scene reflects the work of Italian illustrator Virginio Livraghi (b. 1924), who painted these gouache illustrations of Joel Chandler Harris's Uncle Remus stories for the British children's comic Once Upon a Time between 1969 and 1971.
