Reference: Memoirs of an Art Dealer 2, G. Blair Laing, McClellan & Stewart, 1982, p. 34: "Then there was the Alexander Simpson collection. Simpson, who had been the chief cashier of the Bank of Montreal, retired in 1855 to return to Scotland. These pictures remained in a Scottish family until more than 100 years later when they were auctioneered off in London. One of them, which I bought at the sale, was a winter scene with horse-drawn sleigh and figures in a snow-covered valley with the Laurentians providing a spectacular backdrop. It was circular in shape and one of the very few examples of the artist's work that remained in the original frame that Krieghoff had made to order by his Philadelphia frame makers, James S. Earle and Son." - Référence: Memoirs of an Art Dealer 2, G. Blair Laing, McClellan & Stewart, 1982, p. 34: "Then there was the Alexander Simpson collection.
