PROVENANCE
Collection of Bess and Lawren Harris
By descent within the Harris family to the present Private Collection

The verso inscription "25 Severn Street" refers to the Studio Building in Toronto, a living studio space used by many of the Group of Seven. Initially conceived and financed by Harris in 1914, George Pepper and Kathleen Daly Pepper lived and worked at the Studio Building from 1934 to 1951.
There is a reproduction of the painting affixed to the verso, presumably taken from an exhibition catalogue and including catalogue number #426.
