Signature : signed lower left; with letter from the artist to Zoltan Lewinter-Frankl on reverse Medium : oil on board Dimensions : 19¼ x 14½in. (48.90 x 36.83cm) Provenance : Purchased from the artist by Zoltan Lewinter-Frankl; Collection of George and Maura McClelland Exhibited : Literature : Zoltan Lewinter-Frankl was Northern Ireland's only significant private patron of fine art throughout the 1940s and early 1950s. Having fled from Vienna after the Anschluss he set up textile factories in Northern Ireland. Frankl began collecting art almost as soon as he arrived there. In 1944 he lent 39 pictures to a travelling exhibition of Ulster. All were Irish in origin including works by James Humbert Craig and it is possible that this example was in that show. In 1958 the Belfast Museum staged an exhibition of the highlights of Frankl's collection and the catalogue ran to 248 works and it is likely this painting was included.
