Lot Report

Note:

“The monumental forms of this fully dressed Eskimo female bring to mind many a powerful Eskimo sculpture. In this print, however, the rhythmic, sensitive handling of linear patterns delicately softens the impression of the mass.”
Furneaux et al., Arts of the Eskimo: Prints, p. 92-3
