Beaver Dam, Algoma - A scenic natural setting on a lake, with a red canoe stranded on a beaver dam.

MacDonald made more painting trips to Algoma in the late 1910s early 1920s with other members of the Group of Seven, making sketches on the spot, Beaver Dam dates from that period.

James Edward Hervey MacDonald was one of the founding members of the Group of Seven, an influential art movement of Canadian landscape painters from 1920-33.
