There is no print chop to identify the artist but the print has been attributed to Kudlalak. James Houston states that the original image came from a carved tusk and that Kudalalak was already dead in 1958.
Barz tells that there was a Kudlalak from Povungnituk and there is an image of the artist in Canadian Eskimo art [Canada. Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, 1965, p. 8/9]. It is possible that he participated in the Dorset print shop activities.
