Lot description - from the online catalogue*
A label on the reverse of this artwork explains, “Having trailed a moose until the harassing of the dogs forces its collapse, a team of six Algonkian hunters close in for the kill.
They will strip the animal of its hide, feed some of the moose to the dogs, and then a cache remains for the woman to gather and bring back to the camp on sleds.
The hunters continue to seek further prey.”
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
