How do we know it was by memory? What if the bear held that person hostage for a very flattering painting

I've seen cartoons. That man and that bear were friends

A good theory, but sadly this drawing predates the invention of the pickinick basket by at least 10 years. At least.

I immediately thought this poor artist was in the cave for days, periodically poking his head out, and the bear was still there, just waiting.

They got many close looks at that bear and had nothing to do but draw the thing that would finally kill them when they got desperate enough to make a run for it.

This painting might be like someone writing Jeff on the tile floor in their own blood. Or they became friends like in a Disney movie. I see no middle alternative.

Joking aside, that’s a phenomenal likeness.
