"March Evening, St. Austin, 1929." The painting is signed by the artist at the bottom center and measures 9.25 x 8.75 inches.
The artwork is a serene depiction of a winter landscape at dusk, with dark evergreen trees standing against a softly lit sky that transitions from warm yellows to cool blues and purples, suggesting the quiet close of the day. Shadows and the last rays of sunlight dance on the snow, creating a sense of calm and the cool chill of a March evening in St. Austin.
This painting comes with a provenance from Kaspar Gallery in Toronto. The original price from 1929 was CAD 60, indicating not only its appreciation over time but also its historical and artistic value. This piece is a charming example of Kilgour's work, reflecting the beauty of Canadian landscapes during the early twentieth century.
