This dramatic oil on canvas painting by Alaska artist Ellen Henne Goodale (1915-1991) captures the excitement of a favorite Alaskan sport and historic mode of transportation - the dog sled. The makings of Alaskan lore and legend, this is a prime piece by one of the husband and wife Anchorage-based artists who moved to town in 1943, and then proceeded to produce many beloved painted works spotlighting Alaskan sourdoughs, bush pilots, Native people, wilderness scenes with cabins and caches, and as seen here - images of dog teams. Signed lower right by the artist, the work is framed with a few scuffs as shown, and measures approximately 23.75" x 37.75" overall, with a sight view of 16.5" x 30.5".
