Inuit Soapstone Carving: Seated Figure in Parka with Raised Arm, Signed 'Roy'

$718

Antiques & Decorative Arts · Late 20th Century, circa 1970s–1990s

A substantial and finely carved Inuit soapstone sculpture depicting a seated figure dressed in a parka, one arm raised dramatically overhead holding a rounded form, the face and fur-trimmed hood rendered in contrasting pale stone with detailed stippled trim along all garment edges. The figure is mounted on a rough-hewn white stone base and signed 'Roy' in marker on the underside. The carving exhibits confident craftsmanship, with selectively polished surfaces contrasting against the natural stone texture, characteristic of quality Canadian Inuit commercial-period work.
