Mystery surrounds Paul Henry artwork up for auction

Des O'Sullivan previews the James Adam spring sale of Important Irish Art 

The artwork by Paul Henry, but is it Connemara or Kerry?

Is it Kerry or Connemara? A little bit of mystery surrounds the location of a small classical work by Paul Henry at the James Adam spring sale of Important Irish Art on March 1. The title of this 1930s work is Cottages by the Lake, Outer Killary, Connemara.

The late art historian Dr Brian Kennedy, author of the catalogue raisonné on Paul Henry, thought otherwise. He reckoned that this might well be a Co Kerry painting, possibly mislabelled at a gallery.
