Description :

Framed artwork titled "Ike" by Josephine Crumrine Liddell, depicting a smiling Alaskan dog in a realistic portrait rendered in soft shades of gray, cream, black, and muted lavender against a warm pink background. The artwork is signed in the lower left and is presented in a decorative wood frame with a dark carved outer border and gold-toned inner molding. The reverse bears a House of Wood, Fairbanks, Alaska framing label and stamp.

Born in Seattle in 1917, Josephine Crumrine Liddell was an acclaimed Alaskan painter celebrated for her expressive pastel portraits of sled dogs and northern landscapes. Her career gained widespread commercial prominence in the 1940s and 1950s when the Alaska Steamship Company featured her lifelike dog portraits on their traveler dining menus. Later settling in Haines, Alaska, she expanded into oil landscape painting, with one of her most notable recorded fine art pieces being this 1965 portrait of a beloved dog named "Ike".

Measurements: 23.25" x 29.25"
