Oil on board, framed. Attributed to Arthur Lismer (1885–1969). Depicting a vivid Canadian landscape with twisted foreground trunks, tall evergreens, and a bright blue lake set against rolling hills, the composition reflects Lismer’s mature Group of Seven vocabulary, characterized by animated brushwork, rhythmic contouring of trees, and a heightened chromatic palette that emphasizes the vitality of the northern wilderness. Signed A. Lismer ’42 at the lower right. Label on verso: Laing Galleries. 40.6 x 35.6 cm (16" x 14"), framed: 61 x 58.4 cm (24" x 23"). Works featuring similarly expressive arboreal forms, sculptural paint handling, and dynamic spatial movement appear in the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Vancouver Art Gallery, all holding paintings that share comparable stylistic energy and thematic focus.
