Lot 141: Maurice Galbraith Cullen 1866 - 1934 Canadian oil

Maurice Galbraith Cullen 1866 - 1934 Canadian oil on board North River Near St. Margaret's, PQ 11 3/4 x 16 1/4 inches 29.8 x 41.3 centimeters signed and on verso titled and certified by Cullen Inventory #1395 Provenance:The PSBGM Cultural Heritage Foundation The North River in the Laurentians in winter was one of Maurice Cullen's favoured subjects. The cabin on Lac Tremblant that he built in the early 1920s was his base from which he explored this river's banks and the surrounding snow-encrusted forests. His treatment of the delicate borders between snow and water are particularly exquisite, as are the contrasts between brilliant white snow and deep blue water in this sunlit painting.
