Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Snow Goose Gallery, Ottawa, ON, Private Collection, ON
Notes:
At times fused with the story of the sea goddess, Sedna, the story of the girl who married a dog tells of a young girl that would not have a husband and came to marry a dog. After becoming pregnant, her father isolated her on a small, remote island. She bore a litter, some dog children and some human children.
Knud Rasmussen, Report of the Fifth Thule Expedition, 1921-4, vol. VII, no. 1, 1929, Copenhagen, p. 63-6
