Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Edith Bouchard, Montreal
Dominion Gallery, Montreal, 1952
Collection of Mr. François Dupré
Exhibitions:
Dominion Gallery, Montreal, The Three Bouchard Sisters, March 13 - 26, 1952
Notes:
Simone Marie Bouchard lived in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, making hooked rugs as well as painting. Although without formal training, she was described as Quebec's greatest primitive painter by artist Alfred Pellan. A member of the Contemporary Arts Society in Montreal, she showed her genre scenes of community life in their exhibitions. This double-sided painting, both a vibrant still life and a charming study of rural life, is an outstanding example of folk art tradition.
