(20.3 by 15.9cm) Frame Size: 20 by 17in. (50.8 by 43.2cm) Provenance: Jorgensen Fine Art, Dublin; Private collection A very similar view to the present work is illustrated in Denise Ferran’s book William John Leech: An Irish Painter Abroad (National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, 1996) p122-123, no. 14 Still Evening, Concarneau. Ferran notes how, “Leech uses the thin trunks of the plane-trees to frame the boats in the harbour, resulting in a gentle landscape. It is through these small, instantaneous works that Leech’s style develops.” €4,000-€6,000 (£3,420-£5,130 approx.) Click here for more images and to bid on this lot10
