Kernoff was known for his topographical
views of Dublin and he often painted
several studies of the same location, some
with only very slight differences.The
present work is an example of such a view,
another example of which was offered in
these rooms on 1 October 2012, lot 59 and
sold for
€
11,000.
The differences are minor; in the present
work there are a smaller number of figures
in the foreground but additional details of a
man and a horse far left.The same
streetscape is depicted, however, in the
present work the outline of the distinctive
Rinn (later the Regal) Cinema on Fitzwilliam
Street, Ringsend can be seen.The building
was designed in 1925 by Thomas Francis
McNamara and was one of the many
suburban cinemas in Dublin at this time.
The cinema closed in 1962 but the building
remains.
