A.Y. Jackson’s first formal sketching trip to Lake Superior was in autumn of 1921, following a Group of Seven trip to Algoma, when he accompanied Lawren Harris to the north shore of Lake Superior. Unlike Harris, who immediately found great inspiration there, Jackson first found the shore uninviting and with little motivation. Harris’s attitude encouraged Jackson to engage with the land and he soon too found his own enthusiasm. Rather than concentrating on the lake and sky, Jackson’s subject matter at Lake Superior became the terrain of rolling hills and rocky plateaus. As demonstrated in Cove on Lake Superior, Jackson uses his defining lines and harmonious rhythm to illustrate the raw quality of the shore.

In August 1955, Jackson bought land for a cabin on the eastern shore of Lake Superior, near Wawa, Ontario. Cove on Lake Superior was likely painted nearby, at a beach just off of the Michipicoten Harbour Road, and is one of several works Jackson painted at this location.
