Two paintings by the distinguished Irish artist, Paul Henry R.H.A. (1876-1958) believed to have been presented to Clemens J. France, a member of the US Committee of Enquiry on Conditions in Ireland, by the people of Ireland in gratitude for his work on the Constitution of the Irish Free State, circa 1922, will be sold by Bonhams on November 14 in London.
The subjects of the two paintings are beautiful landscapes probably showing scenes near Achill Sound and Dugort Bay, Achill Island.
