Saint-Fabien, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, was one of A.Y. Jackson’s most fruitful painting spots. It was also, thanks to the hospitality of the local inhabitants, one of his favourite places to stay. In his autobiography A Painter’s Country, he writes of his 1935 trip to Saint-Fabien and the warm welcome he received on being invited to a lively sugaring-off party there. Jackson knew that he was witnessing the final days of a way of life that would soon be changed forever, and he was determined to record it for posterity. The scene depicted here is classic Jackson and his most sought-after subject matter – a gently undulating road leading down through an old Quebec village lined with a haphazard collection of wood-clad houses painted in an array of colours. There is, however, nothing haphazard about the structure of the painting. Jackson was a master of composition, and he leads our eye down towards the focal point of the horse and sleigh and then up to the distant mauve hills, before circling back down through the wave-like movements of the undulating landscape.
