An early period original oil painting on board by Alaskan artist Eustace Paul Ziegler (1881-1969), painted with rich impasto, in an Impressionist manner, and rendered using his hallmarked expressive palette knife paint application with loose brushwork. The artist captures the atmospheric depth of a woodland river scene using jewel-like tones of green and blue, contrasted with muted chromatic neutral earth hues, and offset by highlights of pale illuminist hues in the sky. Handwritten text on the canvas en verso notes "The Kuskalana River from Ole Berg's Bridge, Cordova, Alaska, circa 1924," and the signature (Eustace Paul) Ziegler, along with his famous cache monogram, lower right. Beautifully presented in a classic silver frame, and measuring approximately 21.5" x 25.5" overall with a sight view of 16" x 20".
