Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Private Collection, Montreal
Literature:
Esther Trepanier, "Jewish Painters of Montreal," Montreal, 2008, p. 46, colour plate 22, as "Grey Day"
Notes:
Foremost among the painters of note in Montreal, Muhlstock was both productive in his own right and active in his support of other painters. His work hangs in the National Gallery of Canada and a strong work like this gives ample reason why.
