Limited edition prints like this are often sought after by collectors and can be found in galleries and auctions. The style of the print is that of Northwest Coast Indigenous art, with bold black and red lines forming the shape of two stylized frogs. The print is a striking example of the use of formline design, a characteristic of Northwest Coast art, which emphasizes the use of continuous, flowing lines to create stylized animal forms. The two frogs are depicted in a symmetrical arrangement, with the larger frog’s face framing the smaller frog’s body. This design creates a sense of balance and harmony, reflecting the traditional values of Northwest Coast art.
