About the piece
Created circa 1917 by Arthur Lismer, a founding member of the Group of Seven, this oil sketch captures the tension and movement of maritime operations during the First World War. The work is defined by its thick, textured paint application and a vibrant play of light across the clouds, depicting a seaplane patrolling above minesweepers in a coastal environment.
