A TIBETAN GILT-BRONZE DENSATIL-STYLE SCULPTURE OF A BODHISATTVA C.15TH CENTURY The finely cast Bodhisattva stands in tribhanga asana and holds a ghanta (bell) in his left hand and a mala (rosary) in his right hand.

(2) Provenance: a London collection since 2005. This sculpture exhibits a number of stylistic similarities to sculptures known to have been made for the Densatil Monastery (Central Tibet) between the late 14th and late 15th century, which indicate a connection to the Densatil artistic tradition. These include the facial type of the Bodhisattva, the design of the jewellery and of his jewelled belt, the extensive use of glass next to semi-precious stones and a strong Nepali artistic influence.

Paul Henry RHA RUA (1876-1958) Thatched Cottages (1915-16)oil on boardsigned 'PAUL HENRY' lower left 20½ x 25½cm (8.1 x 10in)Bell Gallery, Belfast; Christie's, Dublin, 29th June 1994, Lot 264, reproduced in colour; Private Collection Possibly 1916 Belfast as 'Moonlight in the Village'S.B. Kennedy: Paul Henry Paintings, Drawings Illustrations, published by Yale, University press; Catalogue No. 418, page 183 illustrated. A small, very directly observed and notably unromanticised view of a grouping of Spartan cottages, thought by SB Kennedy to be on Achill. Certainly Henry had been based on Achill since 1912, and found it an extraordinarily rich source of inspiration. Later, when he had moved on to Dublin and then Wicklow, his Western scenes could be formulaic and idealized, but the earthy realism of this scene rings true.
Lot 18
Paul Henry RHA RUA (1876-1958) Waterville, Co Kerryoil on boardsigned 'PAUL HENRY' lower right and titled on reverse 41 x 46cm (16.1 x 18.1in)Combridge Gallery, Dublin, 1946, by whom lent for a time to the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin; Thence the artist's studio; Mrs McAreavey, acquired from Mabel Young in 1962; The estate of the late James Gibson; Bell Gallery, Belfast (label verso); Private Collection S.B. Kennedy: Paul Henry Paintings, Drawings Illustrations, published by Yale, University press; Catalogue No.1063, page 308 This is probably the picture of this title that Paul Henry first exhibited at the Combridge Gallery, Dublin, in October 1945. It was almost certainly painted in the summer of that year when Henry and his second wife, Mabel Young, stayed at the Great Southern Hotel in Waterville. They had first visited the Iveragh Peninsula a decade earlier, in 1932, staying on the northern side of the Peninsula at Glenbeigh. Paul was enchanted by the area. 'It is lovely. Wherever one turns there is material for dozens of pictures. I felt that if I spent a lifetime I would never exhaust all the possible subjects,' he wrote to a friend, James Healy, in New York (letter of 13 December 1934, Healy Papers, Stanford University Libraries). The Peninsula produced a paler key in his paintings, as the Irish Times commented (7 May 1935), which contrasts with the heavier, more brooding works of the late 1920s and early 1930s when his marriage to his first wife, Grace, was breaking up and at a time when he had other domestic difficulties. By 1945, with a much more settled lifestyle, Paul and Mabel returned to Kerry-there is no record of their having been there since the 1930s-and, staying at Waterville, they used that as a base to explore much of the Peninsula. The area around Waterville has welcomed many celebrities over the years, the most notable, perhaps, being Walt Disney and Charlie Chaplin. The Iveragh Peninsula, of course, is traversed by the famous Ring of Kerry tourist route. The stretch of water depicted in this composition is probably Lough Currane, which lies immediately to the east of Waterville, which is the town crowning the hilltop in the middle distance. The 'paler key' that typifies Henry's work in these late years of his painting career-he suffered almost total blindness shortly after this picture was painted-is well seen in this composition, where the mounting cumulus clouds in the sky are reflected in the sea in the foreground, which is almost without detailing of any sort, save for the masterly dexterity of the brushwork. In this regard, Waterville, Co. Kerry may be compared with one of Henry's finest late works, Kinsale, of 1939 (Kennedy, 2007, number 994). For a discussion of Henry's other Iveragh Peninsula pictures see S. B. Kennedy, 'Paul Henry's Iveragh Paintings', in John Crowley & John Sheehan (eds.), The Iveragh Peninsula: A Cultural Atlas of the Ring of Kerry, Cork University Press, 2009, pp.441-4. Dr. S.B. Kennedy, October 2018
