Lot 223: Anne Douglas Savage 1896 - 1971 Canadian oil on

Anne Douglas Savage 1896 - 1971 Canadian oil on board Sugar Shack 8 3/4 x 12 inches 22.2 x 30.5 centimeters on verso signed Provenance:Private Collection, Toronto A member of Montreal's Beaver Hall Hill Group, Anne Savage was known for her landscapes of Montreal and its surrounds, including the country around her family's farm at Lake Wonish. This classic Canadian scene features a "sugar shack" - a cabin in the woods used for the boiling down of maple syrup, an activity carried on by farmers in the winter for extra income, and as a delicious treat. Savage's strength as a painter is evident in this fresh, natural oil sketch brightened by splashes of orange, blue and mauve.
