The last print created by the artist before his death in 2010.
Reportedly the last print made before the artist's death in 2010, Evening Shadow splendidly encapsulates what Ingo Hessel described as the artist's unique ability to depict Arctic animals. Hessel commented, "You
could tell how much he understood animal behaviour. [...] It wasn’t simply the details, but the spirit and
intelligence of the animals in his drawings. You feel like the subjects are looking you, as much as
you’re looking at them" [1].
