Lot 39: Franklin Carmichael, “Study of Trees, Autumn” (circa 1920-22), oil on beaverboard, 10 x 12 ins, Estimated: $60,000-80,000, Spring Live Auction of Important Canadian Art
(June 15th)

This is one of the works in our Spring Live Auction that just keeps drawing my attention back in for another close look. Carmichael’s mastery of the medium is on full display here. The surface buzzes with autumn colours and the paint handling is both sensitive and confident. The best of the Group sketches have an incredible immediacy to them, a quality this work has in spades.
