Item Details

Description

Lot 2
UNIDENTIFIED ARTIST, KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET)
Standing Man, c. 1950-51

stone, 5 x 2.75 x 1.5 in (12.7 x 7 x 3.8 cm)

Provenance
Acquired at an early Inuit art sale at the Canadian Guild of Crafts in Montreal;
Private Collection, Toronto.

Likely among the first shipments of carvings to make their way south to the Guild from Cape Dorset, this lovely little fellow (possibly a young boy) is diminutive in size but not in stature. The figure is carved with a remarkable degree of sensitivity; although unsigned, we wonder whether this might be the work of the famous Niviaqsi (Niviaksiak). We love the charming bowl cut of the subject’s hair. In fact we love everything about this little gem!

References
For somewhat later 1950s works by or attributed to Niviaqsi see First Arts Auctions, July 2020, Lots 22,23; and First Arts, December 2020, Lot 31.
