Annie Pootoogook identified this drawing as a portrait of her father, Eegyvudluk Pootoogook. The brother of Kananginak, Eegyvudluk was a hunter, sculptor, and master printmaker in the Kinngait Studios. Though not a large drawing, Sculptor with Pipe is nonetheless a monumental composition. The sleeves and buttons of the blue shirt that fill the upper part of the drawing lead directly to the focal point of the drawing, the large image of folded hands. One finger sports a band-aid, suggesting a life of hard work. The pipe and the lighter, adorned with the word “Kinngait” and an image of a walking polar bear, hint at a favourite pastime; the folded hands indicate that this is a quiet domestic moment. It is a surprisingly simple image for Pootoogook but one that was created with love, a visual ode to her beloved, strong, and yet gentle father.
