The scene depicts a Saint Lawrence village from La Malbaie (formerly Murray Bay), Quebec. This work has been executed with an interesting aerial vantage point with an assortment of layered tight densely packed structures rendered in a bright palette of corals, taupe, bright greens and blues.
Doris McCarthy viewed this artwork in 1995 and recalled that the work was painted on July 16th, 1947, “on a painting trip where I stayed at Cap à l’Aigle with the Haworths.”
This artwork includes a copy of the note in which McCarthy provided the previous owner with the above details.
