Eustace P. Ziegler "Doing Cessment Work" Oil Painting

- Saturday, December 6, 2025 (End)
An original oil on canvas board study of the later "Doing Cessment Work" painting of miners doing their assessment work by renowned Alaskan artist Eustace Paul Ziegler (1881-1969). Early in life, Eustace Ziegler followed in his father’s clerical career path and was even ordained as an Episcopal Minister, but art soon became his overtaking passion. At first, Ziegler traveled to Alaska in 1909, intending to run a mission, but in due course, he began to sketch and paint his native parishioners. Like Sydney Laurence, Ziegler painted landscapes, and he is also celebrated for his portraits of First Nations people and other Alaskans. Eventually, he would make Seattle his home base, be an influential teacher, and continue a forty-year career as one of the finest and most sought-after painters of Alaska and its people. Signed lower left, and housed in a gilded frame measuring approximately 27.5" x 31.5" overall with a sight view of 20" x 24". Professionally cleaned and restored with scattered in-painting.
