"Sketch for a Sandy Beach, Lake Ontario" is a notable artwork by James Edward Hervey MacDonald (1873–1932), a Canadian artist and one of the founding members of the Group of Seven, which was instrumental in forging a distinctive style of Canadian landscape painting in the early 20th century. MacDonald's work is characterized by its vibrant use of color and bold brushwork, which aimed to capture the spirit and essence of the Canadian wilderness.

This particular sketch serves as a preparatory work for a larger, more detailed painting, a common practice among artists to conceptualize composition, color, and lighting before committing to a final piece. Created during a period when MacDonald was actively exploring the Ontario landscape, "Sketch for a Sandy Beach, Lake Ontario" likely reflects the artist's direct engagement with the natural scenery along the shores of Lake Ontario.

The sketch is significant not only as a piece of MacDonald's oeuvre but also as an example of the Group of Seven's broader artistic mission to depict the Canadian landscape in a way that diverged from European traditions and responded to the unique qualities of the Canadian environment. MacDonald's sketches from this period often served as studies that captured the transient effects of light and atmosphere, elements that would be translated into his larger, more refined canvases.

As a work from an influential member of the Group of Seven, "Sketch for a Sandy Beach, Lake Ontario" holds value for its historical and cultural relevance to Canadian art history. It provides insight into MacDonald's artistic process and the development of a national style of painting that sought to express the identity and spirit of Canada through its natural landscapes.
