Lot 57: PEGI MARGARET KATHLEEN NICOL MACLEOD 1904 - 1949

PEGI MARGARET KATHLEEN NICOL MACLEOD 1904 - 1949 LOOKING TOWARD SUNSET FROM LIVING ROOM WINDOW signed Pegi Nicol , titled, and dated 1926 by the artist in pencil and further inscribed Dutchman's Pipe Vine at 21 Dalhousie on the reverse oil on panel 29.9 by 27.3 cm. 11 ¾ by 10 ¾ in.

Private Collection, Quebec

In 1926, the artist traveled with Eric Brown, the Director of the National Gallery of Canada and his wife, Maud, from their homes in Ottawa to Nova Scotia. It was her first time in the Maritimes and this trip instilled a growing confidence and maturity in her work.

This wonderful, anecdotal panel demonstrates MacLeod's strength with domestic subjects, and her sensitivity to light, colour and composition.
