Rypefangst med lang stang og løkke 1920 - 1934

"Rypefangst med lang stang og løkke," a pen-and-ink drawing by Kaarale Andreassen, depicts a scene of traditional hunting. The artwork, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, shows a hunter using a long pole with a noose to catch ptarmigans, a type of bird native to the Arctic regions. The artist, known for their detailed observations of nature and wildlife, captures the simplicity and practicality of this hunting technique, offering a glimpse into the traditional practices of the Greenlandic people during the early 20th century. Andreassen's signature, "K.A.," is visible in the lower right corner of the composition. The scene is rendered in a naturalistic style, emphasizing the stark landscape and the hunter's focused determination.
