About the piece

This 1908 oil painting by Richard Friese captures the rugged, cycles of nature in a Canadian wilderness. The composition centers on sun-dappled boulders surrounded by the silvered remains of fallen timber and resilient green scrub, rendered with confident brushwork and a sophisticated, earthy palette.
