Oil on canvas, framed. Featuring a portrait of an old lady. Signed and attr. Mary Allison Doull (Polish-Canadian, 1866-1953) on the lower right corner. Gallery stamped on verso " Toiles Couleurs Fines, 21 Rue BREA, Paris". 51 x 42 cm (20.1 x 16.5 in.).Mary Allison Doull (or ‘M.A. Doull’, as she liked to sign her work) is a figure whose story deserves to be more widely known and talked about on the Island than it has been. Some of you may know it, but I daresay the majority of you are probably encountering it for the first time today. To my knowledge (and I’m certainly no expert), Doull is one of the only artists born and raised on the Island – and probably stands alone among women of that calling – to ever truly figure into professional artistic circles with the likes of, among others, Emily Carr.
