WHYTE'S IRISH & INTERNATIONAL ART MONDAY 2 DECEMBER 2024 FROM 6PM

44 27 Paul Henry RHA (1876-1958) KILLARY BAY, CONNEMARA, c.1910-15 oil on canvas signed lower left; titled in pencil on stretcher on reverse 14 by 16in. (35.6 by 40.6cm) Frame Size: 24 by 26in. (61 by 66cm) Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the previous owner’s grandfather; Whyte’s, 28 May 2018, lot 27; Private collection Henry painted a number of sailing boats like this, but in later years. This is the earliest noted as the dot in the signature illustrates. It would have been done shortly after he settled on Achill between 1910 and 1915 or thereabouts. The overall treatment of the scene is typical of Henry: from the handling of the clouds; the gentle light catching the mountains; the near foreground and especially the light striking the water are all typical Henry. Acquired by descent from the previous owner’s grandfather, an amateur artist who painted with Paul Henry in the West of Ireland. Dr S.B.
