Two signed Artist's Proof photographs by Alaska wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson (1947–2025). "Brown Bear at Dawn", c.2004, shows a coastal brown bear wading through the Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. The bear faces the viewer in the early light, with its reflection broken by the small ripples around its legs and the dark riverbank behind it. "Brown Bear Silhouette", c.2004, depicts a bear in Naknek Lake at sunset in Katmai National Park, Alaska. The animal is a dark shape beneath a narrow band of glowing sky; red salmon break the water around it, their small airborne shapes visible against the light. Both are signed, dated, and marked A/P in gold leaf ink and printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Supergloss paper. The photographs are shrink-wrapped on board. The largest photograph measures approximately 16.5" x 20.5".
