Oil painting on canvas by Dan Fruits of the head and neck of a black bear, depicting a hunting trophy hanging on the wall. Only the right side profile of the bear is painted. The bear's mouth is painted slightly ajar, with some teeth and the tongue visible. The bear does not hold much expression otherwise. The background is a muted gray blue mixed with light strokes of a subdued tan. On the bottom right corner is the artist's signature, "D. Fruits".

Surrounding the painting is a wooden frame.
