Om værket
Kent was a wanderer and adventurer, who traveled to Alaska, Patagonia, and Greenland. Much of his work, like this drawing, celebrates heroic, manly figures. Interestingly, Kent did not use professional models but drew from his own nude body with the help of mirrors.

Imens i livet hos Rockwell Kent
Hele livet1926–1930
Illustrations for "Moby-Dick"
The publisher R. R. Donnelley offered Kent Dana's Two Years Before the Mast to illustrate, but the artist chose Melville's Moby-Dick instead. The three-volume limited edition of 1930 with his pen drawings (1,000 copies) sold out instantly; Random House issued a trade edition.
1931–1932
Wintering at Igdlorssuit
He lived above the Arctic Circle in the tiny fishing settlement of Igdlorssuit (Illorsuit), where he conceived some of the largest and most celebrated paintings of his career; his book Salamina (1935) is devoted to this first Arctic winter.
1934–1935
Third Stay in Greenland
He visited Greenland for the third time and lived there at length, closely studying the everyday culture and traditions of the local Eskimos.
