EUSTACE ZIEGLER OIL PAINTING CACHE SCENE
OIL ON CANVAS 12" X 10", Eustace Paul Ziegler (1881 - 1969), Alaska/Washington. A mountainous landsdcape with a woman by a fire in the foreground. Signed lower right. Inscribed on the stretcher: "The Cache. From the Nugget shop, Juneau, Alaska". Placed in a pie crust frame. Known for capturing in his painting the spirit of the early twentieth-century Alaskan frontier, Eustace Ziegler became one of the most celebrated painters of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest from its gold-rush period to statehood in 1959. He was one of the first artists from the United States to arrive in Alaska and "was able to depict the 'Old Alaska' and the men who had pioneered the opening of the territory" .
