An original acrylic painting on masonite, c.1980, by Alaska artist Jon Van Zyle (b.1942), a lifelong painter who, in 2025 celebrated his forty-ninth, and final, year as the Official Artist of the Iditarod. This quiet landscape, entitled "Morning Sun," continues a tradition of landscape painting whose romantic visions of America's "Last Frontier" are not only highly sought after by Alaskans and others, but have helped define Alaska in the American imagination. Signed and dated lower right by the artist, the piece is further titled, signed, and dated in the artist’s hand en verso, with note reserving all reproduction rights as held by the artist. Housed within the original frame measuring approximately 25.25" x 21" overall with a sight view of 18" x 14".
