"Humber River (Summer Landscape), 1902," by J.E.H. MacDonald, a renowned Canadian artist who was part of the famous Group of Seven. Born in 1873, MacDonald was instrumental in the development of a distinctive Canadian style of painting.

In this piece, MacDonald captures the lush vibrancy of the Humber River area with a rich palette of greens, blues, and earth tones. The composition is balanced and harmonious, featuring the tranquil river that guides the viewer's eye through the painting. The reflection of the trees in the water is rendered with a sense of fluidity that contrasts with the solid, almost sculptural quality of the foliage and land.

The sky is depicted in a soft, pale blue with gentle clouds that do not overpower the rest of the landscape, suggesting a bright, clear day. MacDonald's brushwork is evident in the texture of the trees and the grassy riverbank, giving the scene a lively, organic feel.

Signed and dated on the bottom right, the painting is sized at 8 x 9.5 inches. The provenance includes a private collection in Vancouver and Consignor Canadian Fine Art, indicating that the piece has been well preserved and has passed through respected hands within the art community.

MacDonald's work is celebrated for its contribution to the canon of Canadian landscape art, and "Humber River (Summer Landscape)" is a fine example of his skill in capturing the beauty and spirit of the Canadian outdoors.
