The daughter of the owner of a small jewelry shop on Toronto’s Danforth Avenue created this ethereal display for Christmas. She has a collection of dolls, and uses them as decorations in the shop. Note that some objects in the foreground are not in focus while some in the background are. Impossibile in real life, this effect is characteristic of the Window Series: the artist adjusts the perspective within the painting to suit his artistic purpose. The artist considers this painting to be among his most beautiful and technically advanced watercolours.
