Pair of Vintage Inuit Child Prints by George Ahgook – Oroluk & Avungna (1963)

This tender pair of vintage prints features the portraits Oroluk and Avungna, two Inuit children drawn by artist George “Gegéy” Ahgook in 1963 and 1966. Ahgook’s expressive work honors Indigenous Arctic life, capturing the quiet strength and warmth of childhood in Alaska’s northern communities. These prints are part of a known mid-century series of three. Each portrait is housed in a simple 8” x 10” metallic frame from the 1980s or 90s—nothing high-end, but they hold the pieces beautifully. The prints have been gently cleaned and show minor signs of previous storage, including light signs of moisture exposure but no water marking on ghe prints. There is no physical damage or warping to the prints themselves. A perfect duo for vintage collectors, Indigenous art enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates cultural storytelling through portraiture.
