Coloured Pencil Drawing of an Inuit Family

Exquisite colored pencil drawing on paper, signed lower right, portraying an intimate moment within an Inuit family, rendered with quiet sensitivity. The composition features a seated mother dressed in a traditional parka with a fur-lined hood. Her posture is calm and nurturing as she interacts with two children. One child sits on her lap, while the other child sits cross-legged facing her, reaching out with an affectionate gesture.

The figures are sketched with soft, subtle shading that emphasizes texture and volume without overwhelming detail. The use of gentle, monochromatic tones gives the drawing a serene mood. The emotional nuance is captured through careful facial expressions and body language—there’s a quiet strength in the mother’s downward gaze and a sense of connection in the children’s attentiveness. Tender and loving!
