Over the 50 years that have passed since Little painted this work, the scene has remained largely unchanged. Located in the Plateau area of the city, actually only a few blocks from Lafontaine Park where another of our Littles was painted, the view is looking southeast along Pontiac toward the Monastery of the Brothers of Jerusalem and Church of St Sacrement at Mount Royal Boulevard.1of 8
