This is a beautiful rendition of a swimming Beluga Whale by Louis Uttaq.

Queenie is elevated on a "rock" so the viewer can admire her graceful lines.  

The stone is flawless.

I love Queenie's large tail but her face is her most charming feature.

Like all Belugas, Queenie has a high forehead and a demure beak of a mouth.

Her round white eyes are shy and modest.

Watching her swim away, you feel a bit sad that you won't see her again.

Queenie would be an extraordinary gift for a wedding, especially to someone who is new to Inuit art because this sculpture has such universal appeal.
