Provenance:

Private Collection, Winnipeg

Literature:

Patrick Furneaux, Leo Rosshandler, Arts of the Eskimo: Prints, Signum Press, Montreal, 1974, page 232

Note:

"The expressive build up of forms by intense hatching, so characteristic of Anguhadluq's drawings, are given full justice by the stone carver (Simon Tookoome), you want to give him equal credit with the draughtsman, particularly since Tookoome is able to execute stone cuts in such a diversity of styles. Anguhadluq's genius is enhanced by the stone cutter's interpretation of his original drawing."
