Private collection, Ottawa, ON

Note:

Before Henry Evaluardjuk became known for his exceptionally refined and skillfully carved bears and other wildlife subjects, his subject matter was quite varied. The early 1960s was a period in which he produced a number of remarkable sculptures of standing figures, such as an example sold by Waddington’s in November of 2008.

The present sculpture, although modest by contrast to Evaluardjuk’s most extravagantly detailed works, is a notable example of the artist’s sensitively carved human figuration of the period.
