Lot Report

Provenance:

Estate of Peter Clapham Sheppard
Private Collection, Toronto

Literature:

Dorothy M. Farr, J.W. Beatty 1869-1941, Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Queen’s University, Kingston, 1981, page 20 & pages 55-57 for similar works by the artist.

Note:

Painted circa 1906.

Remarking on landscapes by Beatty of the same period as this work, Farr describes “...a low horizon. Trees are silhouetted against the sky on one half..., one’s eye travels into the distance, to find a flickering band of horizontal light below a dark horizon.”.

Sheppard was a student of Beatty’s at the Ontario College of Art and a lifelong friend.
