The Estate of James Ford Strachan IV, Victoria

Leonard Joel was honoured to engage with Dr. S. B. Kennedy, the leading industry expert on Paul Henry, when researching this painting:

"This picture is certainly the work of Paul Henry.
The clouds which cover more than half the
composition and his use of light are typical of Henry's style of work. The scene in a remote area of Connemara is a tranquil one, one can see many reflections of the clouds and turf stacks in the water in the foreground."
