In this detail of the painting, we see massive outcroppings of granite acting as guard and gateway to avast river canyon. The figurative becomes literal as one notices the figure of a crouching man emerge from the rock and at the crest of thecliff (not seen here), the face of the elderly guardian watching overthe vast chasm.

| Excellente pièce d'argent de 2013 du groupe des 7 | |
| Très belle pièce de 20$ en argent pur montrant un grand fleuve au creux d'un cayon. Les détails sont remarquables autant sur le revers que pour l’effigie de la reine. Le tout dans un bel emballage rouge en cuir et de très bonne qualité. Merci pour la magnifique pièce | |
