As John Lyman wrote in his diary on October 13th 1930, the day he executed this painting, "Yesterday finished painting at La Frenière. To-day charming afternoon with the Arthur Morrices. Their daughter Eleanor pet niece of J.W.M. They have a quantity of thumb-nail pochades of J.W.M., and some good canvases. A beach scene & winter view of Quebec citadel of early period (Quebec, very early) and a Fête at St. Cloud by night of 1st part (Whisterlian) of middle period, - very good."
