Bartholomew Watkins was a well established landscape painter who predominantly painted views in Co. Kerry. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin from 1856-1892, with several examples from the late 1870s and early 1880s bearing the same titles as both the present and following lot.
