Lot 37
Paul Henry
COTTAGES, CONNEMARA
Estimate:
€80,000 - €120,000
Paul Henry RHA, 1877-1958
COTTAGES, CONNEMARA
Oil on board, 13" x 16" (33 x 40.6cm), signed.
Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist and by descent to the present owner.
This charming oil was acquired by the present owners great grandfather, who was a close friend of the artist and his wife Grace. They purchased a number of his works and all have remained in the family until now. It bears all the hallmarks of the West of Ireland and dates from the artists later period. Henry visited the West throughout his life. Achill, Connemara and Kerry were continuous sources of inspiration to him, often painting from sketchbooks he had drawn.
The angle of the cottage in this work balances the composition, focusing our eye, in front of the layered blue mountain and the charismatic cloudy sky. This is no casual work, the thick impasto throughout demands our attention.
This is the first time the picture has been offered on the market.
