I've searched & searched for Kenan Ward prints & don't see that image among
those he has available. Since the exhibition Bob's image appeared in was
sponsored by the Sierra Club, I searched for "Sierra Club Prints".
I found this one at "fineartamerica":
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/polar-bear-family-thomas-and-pat-leeson.html
But, it's not Kenan Ward, it's Thomas and Pat Leeson; uploaded June 15, 2014
Here's the image at Tom & Pat Leeson's website (it's in their stock image
portfolio):

I think it's a better match for the image Ann has, because it's not flipped and
because it has the little tufts of grass I can see in the image Ann showed. Plus
there are three images in a row & this "pose" is the middle of the three. Looks
like it might have been taken as early as 2000.
I think $400 - $500 for this print (as framed) is more likely than $4,000 unless
Ann's friend bought it from a charity & most of the sale price went as a donation.
