The daily life of a trapper

This oil on panel by René Richard, painted around 1955, illustrates a highlight of life in the Canadian North.The artwork immerses the viewer in the heart of a snowy forest where a trapper and his sled dogs are at work. The composition is distinguished by the verticality of the trees framing the scene and by a broad, textured brushstroke. The artist uses shades of blue, white, and mauve to capture the cold, muffled atmosphere of winter, contrasting with the dark, moving silhouettes. Richard does not merely depict a landscape; he recounts a reality he knew intimately.
