Ice Fishing Etching Appraisal

"Ice Fishing" Limited Edition Etching by Anna Noeh

A limited edition intaglio print, specifically an etching or aquatint, titled 'Ice Fishing' by the renowned artist Anna Noeh (incorrectly referenced by the user as Anna Houng). The work features three Inuit figures, likely a family, engaged in fishing. The composition is characterized by Noeh's signature stylistic approach, which utilizes rounded, simplified geometric forms and a muted, earthy color palette of ochre, grey, and cream with dark line work. The figures are dressed in traditional parkas with patterned trim and fur hoods. To the left is a large celestial or atmospheric orb containing a fish, while the bottom section depicts stylized waves or ice floes with several fish swimming beneath. The print is hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right, titled 'Ice Fishing' in the lower left, and numbered 42/50, indicating a small, high-quality production run. The piece is professionally mounted with a double mat (white over green) and appears to be in good vintage condition. No visible foxing or water damage is apparent from the image, though some slight yellowing of the paper may be present consistent with late 20th-century origins. Noeh was active in the Montreal art scene and is well known for her empathetic portrayals of Arctic life from the 1970s and 80s.
