This is an outstanding work by the master, probably painted in Quebec City. It represents an excellent example of his innovative and unique approach to painting in Canada. This lyrical painting is described in a style commonly referred to as “la manière gris." This grey period is defined by his application of a steel grey colour paint over the surface of the support, upon which Fortin later works up his subject matter. Fortin’s bold palette counts him among the moderns of his generation.
