Seward has a little known Rockwell Kent gem in it's museum. It is a portrait of the daughter of a well known Seward business man. The owner of Brown and Hawkins mercantile grub staked Kent and got the painting in return. He painted it while living in an abandoned cabin on Fox Island. It is quite good and unusual for Kent since it is realistic, in normal not garish colors and is not stylized as many of his words are. It is painted on a piece of c.1918 plywood. I would describe it as being Seward's "Mona Lisa" because the girl, Virginia Darling, is in the same basic pose as DaVinci's famous woman.

My own favorite Kent works are the illustrations he did while living in Greenland. They too are realistic portraits. Most people don't know it but Kent is famous and well beloved in the former Soviet Union whose museums have lots of his stuff. He was a outspoken Socialist and was into the "workers of the world unite thing". Stalin played him like a fiddle.
