Starvation Cove by Julius von Payer

My favorite Franklin Expedition-inspired painting, but one that is curiously hard to find a good reproduction of. It depicts what von Payer clearly believed had been the unfortunate fate of some of the survivors, those who had made it to Starvation Cove on the northernmost edge of the Canadian mainland.

The bottom picture is a larger, clearer view of the painting as it hangs, found on this site.
