Many in the first wave of Inuit artists were unaware of the art world and did not consider themselves artists as such. Pitseolak was an exception, and this is an early example of her commentary on the art world. The liveliness of her line drawing captures both the comedy and the awkwardness of this novel exchange of a bird for artwork. The excitement of the “buyer” (holding the bird by the neck) is expressed in his gestures and the agitated movement of his hair, while the two Inuit figures serenely hold up drawings, done in Pitseolak’s style, for his selection.
