Toronto Mansions by Albert Franck is a 20 x 26 inch ink and wash on paper that is protected under museum glass. The piece was created in 1951 and is signed in the bottom right corner by the artist. The piece depicts a wealthy neighborhood in Toronto during the winter, the front lawns covered in snow. The dark silhouette of mature trees dominate the foreground and the monochromatic palette emphasizes the cold temperatures of the landscape.
Franck specialized in capturing the beauty of Toronto houses, using incredible detail and a unique perspective to depict the historical architecture and evolving neighborhoods in the city.
