A graphite sketch on paper depicting a rolling hilled landscape with tilled land in the mid ground and a couple of buildings in the background. There are handwritten notations throughout the sketch and the signature "A Y Jackson" is in the bottom right corner. There is a rough sketch on the verso with "Probably Les Eboulement Que" written in the bottom right corner.
A.Y. Jackson often sought subjects in land tilled and untamed, from the farms of the Saint Lawrence Valley to the rocky outcrops of Georgian Bay and the peaks of the Rockies. Jackson, especially, had a wanderer's heart, as these drawings, ranging from 1927 to the late 1940s, attest: views of the rolling hills of the Charlevoix are joined by quickly-sketched, annotated images of the rougher climes of Northern Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and even the eastern Arctic.
