Parr’s early drawings are immediately recognizable because of the way he filled the paper with stylized animal and human figures, without overlapping them or providing landscape context. Realistic details are minimal yet precise, and the relative sizes of animals seem to vary depending on the space available! Parr’s lifetime of hunting provides the primary subject matter here. Human figures are ranged along the right side, while a veritable Arctic menagerie proceeds leftward. One of Parr’s quirks was to draw his human and animal figures with more realism when shown in profile, while human figures shown frontally display an almost childlike naivete (and enormous charm, as they always seem to be greeting the viewer!). The animals, from top to bottom, likely are: a large, toothed whale, a polar bear, wolf(?) and dog, a seal, walruses and geese, a caribou and another bear, and a smaller whale (beluga?). With its fusion of narrative and display, drawn in his trademark style, this is a classic early work by the artist.
