Paul Henry R.H.A. (Irish, 1876-1958) Turf stacks with mountains signed 'PAUL HENRY' (lower left) oil on panel 25.2 x 31 cm. (10 x 12 1/4 in.) Fußnoten Provenance With The Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin, 14 June 1954, where purchased by the family of the present owner Thence by descent Private Collection, U.S.A. The present work recalls Henry's West of Ireland and Kerry bog scenes of the 1930s with his trademark cumulus cloud forms billowing over the mountainous landscape below. The impressionistic handling of the grass and reeds lining the choppy water in the foreground gives a sense of movement from the ever present Atlantic gusts and although devoid of people, the turf stacks in the middle distance are redolent of recent human activity. The present work has remained in the same private collection for sixty-five years since its acquisition from Victor Waddington in 1954. We are grateful to S.B. Kennedy for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
