Description

This unusually large painting by Henry records the view eastwards from the quay on the Clifden road, just over a kilometre west of Letterfrack, County Galway. The cluster of diminutive, white-washed cottages, picked out by sunlight against a backdrop of mountains and an impressive sky, is a motif that recurs in Henry s landscape painting from the early 1920 s onwards. These cottages emphasis the grandeur of the local scenery while alluding to rural communities isolation and reliance on the land.
