An original watercolor painting entitled "Fish Cache on Copper River" by late Alaskan artist Eustace Paul Ziegler (1881-1969); signed lower right by the artist with title displayed on a small plaque at the base of the frame. Relying on a reserved color palette that consists mostly of blues, whites, and browns, the painting features a squat wooden fishing shelter with several human figures sitting in the partial shade under its roof, with skins and pelts hung to dry. Backed by a second piece depicting a man standing among mountainous trees, when turned upside shows markings of "Drying Fish - Alaska", a price of $15.00, and signature of Eustace Paul Zeigler. Further notes provide provenance of the piece once being housed at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1970s. Presented in the original wood frame measuring approximately 17.75" x 22.25" overall, with a sight view of 8" x 12.75".
