Presented against a rich, dark background that enhances depth and contrast, this exceptional hand-signed limited edition print by renowned Russian wildlife artist Vadim Gorbatov (b. 1940) is shown from three distinct viewing angles, highlighting its texture, framing, and fine detail.

Professionally framed and beautifully preserved, the piece is showcased from multiple angles to emphasize its craftsmanship and condition, making it a striking addition to any fine art, wildlife, or sporting collection. Comparable limited edition prints by Vadim Gorbatov commonly sell between 350 and 1,800 USD, with rare Artist’s Proof editions often commanding a premium depending on subject, condition, and provenance.
