CORNELIUS KRIEGHOFFHURON INDIANS AT CAMP, AUTUMNoil on canvassigned 12 ins x 16.25 ins; 30.5 cms x 41.3 cms Literature:Dennis Reid, Krieghoff, Images of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, 1999, pages 60-61.Note:Dennis Reid writes: "Krieghoff's approach to the depiction of Natives was not as focused on either the portrayal of prominent leaders or the systematic cataloguing of different nations... His most ambitious scenes of the Montreal period depict family groupings around a fire in summer, the Native equivalent, in a manner, of the Canadian Interior scenes." Against the rich backdrop of an autumnal forest, Krieghoff depicts a family in a moment of quiet repose.
