Private Collection, Montreal
In the mid-1930s, Robert Pilot resided in Montreal, painting scenes of the city and its environs in an Impressionist style. In “October Snow, St. Agnès, Quebec”, the artist depicts snow's first appearance of the season, contrasting with the autumn foliage that has not yet disappeared. Pilot creates a strong sense of perspective, painting a grass field before a wooden forest, with a mountain range in the distance. Sainte-Agnès-de-Dundee is located in the Montérégie tourist region, south-west of Montreal, close to the New York border.
