Catalogue Note

This rare, early drawing dates from 1904, before Paul Henry settled on Achill island in 1910 and embarked upon his celebrated paintings of the West of Ireland. Although he is remembered for his oils Henry created beautiful drawings early in his career, as seen in the present work. It shows his highly accomplished technical ability, with soft outlines and careful toning to create form and atmosphere.  

Woman with Fagots is numbered 1294 in S. B. Kennedy's ongoing cataloguing of Paul Henry's oeuvre.
