Lot Report

Note:

“A dangerous-looking dog; his fur shining, ears pricked, alert, he bounces across the sheet, tension expressed in every line. The curious distortion of the dog’s head, the masklike, geometrical delineation of its features, plus the hypnotic eyes, combine to produce the menacing appearance.”
Furneaux et al., Arts of the Eskimo: Prints, p. 70-71
