The few known examples of A.Y. Jackson’s paintings done while visiting the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago are dated February through March of 1956, and by the artist’s own notes on this painting’s verso, this was the first sketch done on his getaway. Though he seems to have been based in the capital of Port of Spain, Jackson also journeyed with his sketch box to Maracas Bay on the island’s north shore, where he was inspired to produce this rich and vivid work. The lush, tropical palette is a fascinating counterpoint to Jackson’s more typical colour choices found in his many depictions of Georgian Bay, Charlevoix, and other Canadian locales. These intimate, on-the-spot oil sketches sometimes document quiet moments in the lives of the local residents, and represent a rare and compelling element of Jackson’s non-Canadian work.
This painting’s original owner was R.E. Dowsett, a friend of Robert and Signe McMichael, through whom he was introduced to Jackson. This painting and many others were acquired directly from the artist during their long friendship.
