"Elm Street, Toronto, 1959" by Canadian artist Albert Franck (1899-1973). The painting is 24 x 20 inches and is signed and dated at the bottom left.
The painting portrays a wintry city scene with a row of Victorian houses lining the street, covered in snow. The architecture typical of Toronto's older neighborhoods is depicted in a realistic yet textured manner, with attention to the effects of light and shadow on the colorful facades. Leafless trees and a grey sky capture the quiet stillness of a cold day. This piece provides a nostalgic glimpse into Toronto's past, showcasing the city's urban landscape during the mid-20th century.
The provenance of the painting includes an artist label with the original price of $352 and is associated with the Roberts Gallery in Toronto.
