MacDonald, A Dictionary of Canadian Artists, 3rd edition, Canadian Paperbacks, Ottawa, 1975, pages 459-461.Note:Born in Toronto in 1882, Peter Clapham Sheppard apprenticed and studied with some of the leading lithographers and artists at the time, and travelled throughout Europe and the United States to further his artistic education. Known primarily for his landscape paintings, Sheppard’s subject matter is highly varied, depicting portraiture, cityscapes, genre painting, and of course landscape with a keen eye for detail. His work is not easily categorized as Sheppard not only painted an array of subjects, but he did so using many different artistic techniques as well (see also Lot 92). Working during a period of rampant industrialization and development, Sheppard would have been exposed to the rapidly evolving aesthetic trends of the time. As such, his work seems to sit in that heady axis of change between one artistic school of thought and another, that is Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Sheppard’s use and precise application of light and shadow hint at the former, while his exploration of colour and line suggests the latter. The painting Shoreline, Lower St. Lawrence, Quebec is demonstrative of this duality. The looseness of the brushwork and the subtleties of light on the rooftops evidences a more Impressionistic influence, while the abstraction of form in both the mountains and shoreline suggests his familiarity with the Post-Impressionist aesthetic. With a career spanning the First and Second World War and the Great Depression, Sheppard’s colourful and recognizable imagery would have resonated deeply with the Canadian public. His stylistic versatility portraying the changing seasons and rugged beauty of both rural and urban centres would have worked to foster a nationalist sentiment, and for this reason Sheppard’s work is essential to the ongoing study and understanding of the Canadian landscape tradition.

H. Robson, Canadian Landscape Painters, Ryerson Press, Toronto, 1932, page 164. Colin S. MacDonald, A Dictionary of Canadian Artists, 3rd edition, Canadian Paperbacks, Ottawa, 1975. Evelyn de Rostaing McMann, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Spring Exhibitions 1880-1970, University of Toronto Press, Toronto/Buffalo/London, 1988, page 350 for The Market, November listed.Note:Toronto-born Peter Clapham Sheppard served as an apprentice lithographer before training as a painter under George Reid, John William Beatty, and William Cruickshank at the Central Ontario School of Art and Design and the Ontario College of Art. After 1912, he set off to travel throughout Europe and the United States. He became a member of the Ontario Society of Artists in 1918 and an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1929, exhibiting regularly with both organizations alongside contemporaries such as J.E.H. MacDonald, Tom Thomson, and Frederick Varley. Sheppard worked in oil, watercolour, and pencil to depict the landscapes and cityscapes he observed in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. Developing a wide range of subject matter and figure groupings, he focused his compositions on capturing urban and industrial activities in cities like New York, Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa. The bustle and small economy of the marketplace is a subject he approached in a number of ways in his maturity as a painter. The Market exhibits many of the facets of Canadian Impressionism while reinterpreting the lessons he had taken from European Symbolism and Expressionism. At the height of his renown in Canada, Sheppard was invited to participate in a number of international exhibitions: the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley (1925); L'Exposition d'Art Canadien in Paris (1927); and the New York World's Fair (1939). Today, his work is represented in the collections of the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Canadian War Museum and the National Gallery of Canada. While there is an R.C.A. exhibition label attached to the back of the frame which gives the title of the painting, there is no painting listed for the R.C.A. exhibitions from this period that precisely corresponds. There are other market scenes that were shown at the R.C.A. at this time including Fruit Market (exhibited in 1933) and Hamilton Market (exhibited in 1934). However, a work of this same title is listed as having been included in the records for the 1934 A.A.M. Exhibition.

Jackson, Clarke, Irwin & Company Limited, Toronto/Vancouver, 1958, page 15.Note:Peter Clapham Sheppard painted in a number of locations throughout his life, visiting cities such as Fredericton, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and Hamilton, among others. While this work is not attributed to a specific place, as the title has been lost over time, it could be any number of major Canadian urban centres. Numerous public markets, each devoted to particular commodities and goods including fruits and vegetables, wood, cattle, and hay, were fixtures within the cityscape during Sheppard's lifetime. Until the early 1940s, it was not uncommon for deliveries about town to be made by horse-drawn wagons and sleighs.The delivery depicted in this lot may have been to the hay market in Toronto - in the eastern part of the city between Jarvis and George Streets, or in Montreal - in either present-day Griffintown or Victoria Square. It is possible that the cart has stopped at the weigh house for assessment of its load prior to sale. Alternatively, the delivery could be coming from the market, en route with a large purchase to one of the many municipal buildings that relied on horsepower in their daily conduct of business, such as an armoury, police station or post office (as suggested by the large buildings which set the stage for the hay wagon).As though caught off-guard by an unexpected storm, the drivers huddle in conversation and the horse pauses for rest from the weight of its burden. The vehicle transporting the hay is a cart and not a sleigh - its wheels unsuitable for inclement weather. Perhaps winter has come unexpectedly and has caught the farmers unprepared? Details of the urban landscape are blurred in the winter whirlwind - hinted at by parcels of greens, blues and pinks.  In the early nineteen-teens, Sheppard counted among his colleagues, esteemed painters such as J.E.H. MacDonald and Lawren Harris, all of who were interested in the atmospheric affects caused by industry or weather. As A.Y. Jackson recounts: "It was through... Morrice that (the young Canadian painters) first became aware of the fresh and invigorating movements going on in the art circles of France," specifically Impressionism. There were other influences at work in Canada in those early years, including William Clapp and Clarence Gagnon. However, Jackson and others unanimously acknowledged that it was Maurice Cullen, who could hold title as the father of Canadian Impressionism. This lot is reminiscent of Cullen's scenes of oxen hauling hay, and of his urban scenes where cab stand horses dutifully wait for passengers in driving blizzards.
