Judging from the spirit of this undated portrait, and confirmed by all accounts of his character, Lismer was a good-humoured man who could poke fun at himself as easily as at everyone around him. Although he is best known as a landscape painter, he was also an indefatigable caricaturist. His tie is decorated with an iconic Group of Seven motif: the wind-battered tree on an isolated Georgian Bay island.
