Catalogue Note
The present work is dated 1940-2 on stylistic grounds. Possibly the same picture as Storm in Kerry, 1941, or Showery Day, Connemara, c.1941, numbers 1030 and 1032 respectively in S. B. Kennedy's Paul Henry, with a catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings, Illustrations (Yale University Press, New Haven & London), 2007, p.303, but of this one cannot be certain. The Storm is numbered 1224 in S. B. Kennedy's ongoing catalogue of Paul Henry's oeuvre.
We are grateful to S.B. Kennedy for his kind assistance with the cataloguing of this work.
