Title: EVENING, SILENCE AND PEACE, COUNTY MAYO, c.1935-1943
Note: In his catalogue raisonné Dr SB Kennedy notes: The scene probably represents the Maumturk mountains looking eastwards across Kylemore Lough, in which case the central peak is Letterbreckaun, which rises to over 600 metres. Dated c.1935-1943 on stylistic grounds by Dr. SB Kennedy.
