Category: Art: Alaskan Originals

An original oil painting on canvas board by Eustace Paul Ziegler (1881-1969) entitled "Doxie and Basil." The work depicts a young Athabascan mother, seated on the ground with her toddler perched upon her knee, sharing a bowl of food; signed lower left in red. In earth tones, olive green, and a splash of teal, the work is a subject matter often repeated by the artist in similar, but not identical scenes, and most notably comparable to "Tanana Squaw and Baby," an original oil on canvas brought to auction by us one year ago. Housed within the original gilded frame, it measures approximately 21" x 24.5" overall, image sight 16" x 20".
