Boats at Rest
Oil on panel, 30.5 x 40.6cm (12 x 16”)
Purchased in 1976 from Seán Ó Criadáin by John P. Reihill; Deepwell, Blackrock, Co. Dublin
This work is closely related to the other Swanzy harbour scene in the collection (Lot 16) .Throughout
her life Swanzy loved painting boats whether in Ireland, St.Tropez or Samoa.Though light and colour
obviously vary, all the paintings share, to a greater or lesser extent, the artists preference for wavy,
calligraphic brushwork when treating such subject matter.
