Lot Report

Note:

Displaying the classic aesthetic of Arviat, Nutaraluk’s small seated woman’s most defining feature is her long plaited hair. With a decidedly strong profile, the woman’s face dominates the truncated body of the work. It is artistic decisions like this that elevate a simple figure to that of a small wonder.
