In 1932, commissioned by the National Gallery of Canada, Lismer launched a series of lectures that eventually took him across Canada. While in Victoria, he saw Emily Carr and made this study. The image of Carr carrying her monkey, Woo, on her shoulder, surrounded by a group of dogs and cats, would have been immediately recognizable to any inhabitant of Victoria at the time.
