The stunning artwork by Robert Elmer Lougheed, titled "Logging Team, Near Lachute, Quebec," captures a tranquil winter setting. In the foreground, two majestic horses stand in the snow-covered landscape, their powerful bodies adorned with finely crafted harnesses. The horses carry the weight of their labor with grace, adorned with sturdy harnesses that indicate their vital role in the logging industry. The artist's skillful use of an impressionistic style brings the scene to life, with bold brushstrokes that convey the movement and energy of the horses. The chilly atmosphere of the setting is palpable, as shades of blue and white dominate the color palette. Through the careful use of light and shadow, Lougheed creates the illusion of a low winter sun casting its golden rays upon the scene. In the background, bare trees sway gently in the frigid breeze, further emphasizing the season.
