| Bears Dancing. Perhaps Beard's most famous painting |
William Holbrook Beard born 1824 in Ohio. Died 1900.
Beard produced many paintings that were eagerly sought as reproductions. Most of them were humorous and involved animals (usually bears) engaging in human activities.
William Holbrook Beard was the uncle of Daniel Carter Beard, author of The American Boy's Handy Book.
