This is a charcoal and pencil drawing of a south facing view down Bagot Street with the Old Notre Dame Convent on the left. In the foreground there is an intersection with a stop sign. There are trees and cars in the background. The Convent is a three story stone building with cars parked out front. The artist's signature and the title of the drawing are on the bottom left corner above a number 36. The reverse side is plain.
In 1973, 30 sketches of various Kingston scenes by Montreal artist R. D. Wilson were presented to the City of Kingston by the Macdonald Tobacco Company as a Tercentenary gift. The sketches, called The Macdonald Lassie Tercentenary Collection, were made the previous year on commission by the Montreal-based Tobacco Company. The artist, who has travelled all of the world, lived in Kingston for a month to execute the pencil and charcoal views of the city.
The sketches were presented by Murray Mather, vice-president of Macdonalds, to Kingston Mayor George Speal.
