WOMAN CRADLING HER CHILD
ELIZABETH NUTARALUK AULATJUT (1914-1998), E1-445, ARVIAT
WOMAN CRADLING HER CHILD
stone, signed in syllabics
10" x 5.5" x 7" — 25.4 x 14 x 17.8 cm.
Provenance:
Collection of a prominent American collector and dealer, CT.
Literature:
“Interviews with Eskimo Point Artists”, Bernadette Driscoll, from Eskimo Point/Arviat, Winnipeg Art Gallery, 1982, pg. 23
Note:
"I adored my children and that's probably why I love to carve a mother and a child. If I want to carve a particular position of a mother with her child, such as the feeding of the infant, I would observe that position before carving it. Sometimes I really admire a carving that I've done, especially after it's finished and all smoothed out."
Estimate: $1,000—2,000
