A signed and numbered 1/125 serigraph by Alaska artist Rie Muñoz entitled "Seated Dancer", capturing a woman seated on a bench, tapping her feet and swinging her arms to the music, a wide smile upon her face; her baby nestled inside the hood of her amauti. The women of King Island, where the artist taught school in 1952, danced in a seated position, making graceful motions with their torsos and hands, while the men stood and danced. Both men and women wore gloves while they danced to "feel their hands better" and make the motions more pronounced. Titled, numbered, signed, and dated by the artist c.1975 across the bottom margin. Shrink-wrapped on board measuring approximately 25.25" x 20" with a sight view of 23.25" x 18".
