An original oil painting on canvas board by Eustace Paul Ziegler (1881-1969) entitled "Doxie and Basil" as stated on the small painted plaque in lower center of the gilt frame. 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/grey, 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." Housed within a carved frame which shows very light wear in spots, it measures approximately 21" x 25" overall with a sight view of 16" x 22".
