Lot Report

Literature:

Gerald Stevens, “Frederick Simpson Coburn”, Toronto, 1958, pages 42-43, plate 6, illustrated.

Evelyn Lloyd Coburn, “F.S. Coburn, Beyond the Landscape”, Toronto, 1996, page 81, illustrated in colour.

Note:

Stevens describes this work as showing a team of horses, tired after a long day in the woods: “The feeling of exhaustion in the horses and the man is in accord with the early winter dusk suggested in the carefully treated sky. It has many, if not all, of the qualities of an oil painting.”
