"Moonlit, 1913" is a mesmerizing pastel drawing by George Agnew Reid, a significant Canadian artist who lived from 1860 to 1947. This work, measuring 17.3 x 23.5 inches, is signed and dated by the artist in the bottom right corner, bearing witness to the moment of its creation.

In this nocturne, Reid captures the ethereal quality of moonlight as it filters through a dense arrangement of trees. The composition is centered around the luminescent moon, which casts a soft, diffused light that gently illuminates the surrounding landscape. The silhouettes of the trees are depicted with a haunting beauty, their branches intertwined in an intricate dance with the shadows and light.

The use of pastels allows for a rich depth of tone and texture, with the dark hues of the trees providing a stark contrast to the ghostly glow of the moon and the misty atmosphere of the night sky. The technique employed by Reid creates a sense of quiet and solitude, inviting the viewer into a contemplative space.
