This is a vintage, 20th century framed print reproduction of a 1927 painting by Canadian artist Alexander Young (AY) Jackson (1882 - 1974) that is entitled Early Spring, Quebec. Jackson was part of the Canadian Modernist art movement dubbed the 'Group of Seven'. Jackson was one of 6 children who was left to support his family at age 12 when his father left them. His first job was in a printing company. By 1906 he was attending classes at the Art Institute of Chicago and a year later he traveled by cattle boat across the ocean and studied at the Academie Julian in Paris until 1912 when he returned to Canada. Hand this appears to be pastel and watercolor on board or paper. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
