Oil on board, framed, featuring forest landscape and walking woman, signed and attr. Emily Carr (Canadian, 1871-1945) on lower right corner and verso, dated 1908, with sticker of A.B. Bardwick framing shop. 9.5 x 6.5 in (24.1 x 16.5 cm). Emily Carr, painter, writer. Along with Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, and David Milne, Emily Carr was one of the preeminent, and perhaps most original, Canadian painters of the first half of the twentieth century; she was also one of the only major female artists in either North America or Europe of that period. In Carr’s mature paintings, like the great Indian Church (1929) in the Art Gallery of Ontario, nature is a furious vortex of organic growth depicted with curving shapes that create the impression of constant movement and transformation. By comparison, the human element - churches, houses, totem poles - seem small and fragile.
