I purchased this painting at an antique store on lower Jane Street Toronto that later moved and finally closed. The owner of the shop said that she'd put me in contact with the previous owner, an interesting woman about town, but unfortunately that never happened. There was a framed pastel at that shop no doubt done by the same artist. It was of a South West American Indian head. When I returned, it had already been sold.

If anyone has any additional info about the painter, or even the previous owner the info would be most welcome.
Helen Louise Mason (1870-1960) was born in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Her father died when she was 9 so she and her mother lived with her grandfather in Belleville. She took drawing lessons from a German sign painter and later attended the Moulton Ladies College in Toronto. She met Frederic Joseph Davidson and married him at age 19 after he graduated from U of T in modern languages. He was an early feminist and throughout their marriage encouraged Helen to paint. He completed his Phd in Leipzig and she audited art and history classes there.
Helen and Frederic traveled extensively in Europe, India, the Middle east, Africa, and the Orient and the Southwestern United States, both before and after the first world war. Travel at the time meant weeks of ocean travel or North American trains that were often subject to gunpoint holdups. She took her art supplies with her always, and confounded Frederic by learning languages on the fly in the vernacular so that whereas he was fastidious about correct grammar, she was better understood by locals.
It was important to her to paint from life, never from photographs, so she had to work fast while her subjects sat and light changed. She believed in light and shadow, studied the physics of the colour spectrum, and felt that painting from real life brought life to the work. Pastels don’t have the same drying time constraint of oils so she favored them when pressed for time.
Though an unknown Canadian artist today, nine of her works appeared in annual exhibitions at the Royal Canadian Academy of arts between 1905 and 1932. In 1924 and 1925 she exhibited in Paris at the Hotel Jean-Charpentier and the Salon des Artistes Francais. In 1926, Helen Davidson was accorded a one-woman exhibition at the Durand-Ruel Galleries in New York.
A few reviews of the time:
“…the (Paris) critics hailed her as the discovery of the age; the called her ‘une parfaite maitresse’. Writing for the Le Figaro, Arsene Alexandre, the most scathing of critics, accorded her unstinted praise.” (The Toronto Daily Star. June 25, 1925)
“It is as a portraitist that Helen Davidson strongly affirms her ability; her life-like figures, expressive and warmly colored, are very characteristic of the oriental peoples the artist most often selects as her subjects. The portraits of men or women are rendered with a rare mastery…” (Francois Nevil, Revue du Vrai et du Beau, Jan. 10, 1925)
