Art auction to be held tonight in Toronto.
11/24/2009


TORONTO - A forest landscape by Tom Thomson with notations on the back is expected to be one of the highlights at an art auction to be held tonight in Toronto.
"Winter Morning" will go up for sale at the Joyner Waddington's Fall Auction of Important Canadian Art.
It's the first time the oil painting -- featuring trees blanketed in snow -- has appeared at auction.
The back of the 21-by-27-centimetre painting features a title and signature -- a rarity for Thomson.
Scholars believe the note could have been Harris's way of reserving the piece for his own collection or for that of his friends. The painting is expected to fetch between $800,000 and $1 million.
