O’Connor revisited Montigny, a small town on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, in the autumn of 1902, capturing the sun’s setting on the horizon and its mysterious half-glow.

A holiday in Kerry inspired Paul Henry. By the early 1930s, after a separation from his wife and a period of financial hardship, the famous artist had begun a new life in Enniskerry, County Wicklow, with his partner, RHA Mabel Young, who later became his second wife. By September 1934 he was legally separated and, after a holiday on the Isle of Kerry, his thirst for inspiration returned. This newfound passion for his environment is evident in the bright palette of his landscape painting Connemara (1932-1935), which was sold as Lot 17 with an estimated price of €120,000 to €150,000.
