Hunting one is rarely a solo endeavour; it demands coordination, cooperation, and communal effort, not only to capture the animal but also to process and transport the meat and byproducts that sustain camp life. In this lively stencil, four triumphant hunters strain under the weight of their massive bounty. Despite the lightness of the composition, the image reflects the physical realities of subsistence life and the collective effort required for a community to endure.Provenance
