ALEXANDER YOUNG JACKSON, O.S.A., R.C.A., WAKEFIELD, QUEBEC, oil on panel, 8.5 ins x 10.5 ins; 21.6 cms x 26.7 cms
Est: $25,000 - $35,000
ALEXANDER YOUNG JACKSON, O.S.A., R.C.A. WAKEFIELD, QUEBEC oil on panel signed; titled to gallery label with "NJG 1580" on the reverse 8.5 ins x 10.5 ins; 21.6 cms x 26.7 cms Provenance: Galerie Claude Lafitte, Montreal Private Collection, Toronto The village of Wakefield sits on the banks of the Gatineau river north of Ottawa. This was well travelled terrain for A.Y. Jackson in the late forties, fifties and sixties during which he produced many colourful portraits of little clusters of farms and their out buildings, and are the subjects of some of Jackson's most loved paintings. He would most often sketch in these areas in late winter and early spring. Here we are presented with a charming group of utilitarian dwellings and barns, gilded in the afternoon sun. It's a pleasing composition which could be why Jackson chose this vantage point to set down his stool. The buildings draw the eye from one to the next, finally up to the horizon where the azure blue sky is cloudless and serene. The mastery of technique is evident in this snapshot of rural life in a Canadian riverside village. Estimate: $25,000–35,000

Est: $10,000 - $15,000
ALEXANDER YOUNG JACKSON, O.S.A., R.C.A. DUTCH LANDSCAPE WITH STREAM, 1909 oil on panel mounted to board signed and dated 7.2 ins x 9.5 ins; 17.8 cms x 22.9 cms Provenance: Private Collection, Ontario With a keen eye and light touch, A.Y. Jackson captures the unique signatures of a Dutch landscape. A tiny windmill is just visible on the horizon, as are four hayricks near the centre of the painting, rendered in subtle progression so as to present a strong impression of perspectival depth. The Montreal-born Jackson travelled to Europe on three separate occasions between 1905 and 1913, where he became influenced by the Impressionist movement. This painting was created during Jackson’s second trip, from 1907 to 1909. He had travelled to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, but deferred his studies after only one semester in order to travel across France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Impressionistic objective to capture the elusive effects of light and shadow can be seen in this painting. Jackson masterfully renders a break in the clouds by layering a few strokes of bright white over moody yellows and taupes. A dike snakes its way through the middle of the scene, echoed by an unpaved path, guiding the eye to a patch of countryside bathed in sunlight, a swath of brightness on an overcast day. Estimate: $10,000–15,000
