Catalogue Note
This lot was painted as a commission for Sears Canada and used as the cover illustration for their 2000 Christmas Wishbook Catalogue. The scene depicted is Danby's home, a converted mill in Guelph, Ontario. As was so frequently the case, Danby used his family as models. His wife may be seen on skis on the bridge. Her daughter and son-in-law and their children are also depicted. The dog is Danby's Great Dane, "Summer".
