This pen and ink drawing by Kaarale Andreassen, a Greenlandic artist, depicts an Inuit legend. The drawing, created between 1927 and 1928, shows two naked individuals using a hand drill to start a fire. This ancient method, still practiced by some Indigenous communities, exemplifies the ingenuity and resilience of Inuit people. The simple yet powerful image captures the essence of survival and resourcefulness in a harsh environment. The drawing is part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection in Denmark.
