Literature:

Gerald Stevens, Frederick Simpson Coburn, The Ryerson Press, Toronto, 1958, pages 21-22.

Note:

The high-recognition factor of Frederick Coburn landscapes has always been part of their appeal. As critic William Colgate noted “The subject may be, and sometimes is, repeated but the light which illuminates it rarely is.” However, while each of the works is often compositionally correspondent, Stevens maintains they “comprise all the countless variations of a winter’s day or night to be encountered in the Laurentians or Eastern Townships.”

A year after this work was painted, Coburn was elected a full member of the Royal Canadian Academy.
