Support 23.000 x 33.300 cm
Image 23.000 x 33.300 cm
Secondary support 33.800 x 45.000 cmLanguage of material:no languageScope and content:View from one bank of the St. Maurice River, Quebec, to the other. On the far shore above the river is a small settlement consisting of one large house and at least fifteen outbuildings. Below these, beside a small creek leading in to the St. Maurice, is another group of buildings, some hidden by trees. The two large chimneys identify these as the forges., George Seton was a British officer serving in North America from April 14, 1844 to August 31, 1848. British officers were often trained in watercolour since a topographical record was important for military strategy., 1953-75-9 and -11 have similar secondary supports. Althought they are almost the same size as the others, these two are grey, not white. They are probably from the same album., Inscriptions on other works suggest that the date Seton inscribed on the secondary support is the day that he sketched it from nature. He usually finished the work at another time.Additional name(s):Additional information:General note:Removed from: album: watercolour formerly mounted on album folio, now loose
