Note:

This sketch was created while the artist was in Halifax in 1918. Gilman was on commission by Lord Beaverbrook to depict the Halifax Harbour. During his trips to sketch the harbour, Gilman was accompanied by the Canadian artist Arthur Lismer.

Gilman made a number of studies of Halifax Harbour and its shipping. The National Gallery of Canada holds a pen and ink drawing by Gilman of Halifax Harbour (no. 14840), executed in 1918 that is similar to the pointillist style of this lot.
