Provenance:

The Collection of Daphne Odjig;
Hambleton Galleries, Kelowna, BC;
Private collection, Ontario

Accompanied by a letter from Hambleton Galleries in support of provenance.

Note:

Daphne Odjig’s son, Stan Somerville, cites this painting as having been in his mother’s collection, originally a gift from Ray. Known for his muted, minimal palette–often confining himself to two or three colours, typically brown, black and blue–the ceruleans and ultramarine pigments forming a ring around the grouse in this painting can be positioned at the far edge of Ray’s chromatic range of that time.
