Provenance: Gifted from "The Moonys" to previous owner's Exhibited: Literature: Notes: Born in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, into the land-owning classes, Enraght Moony was educated at Galway Grammar School and in Devon. During the 1890s he went to Paris where he studied under Jean-Paul Laurens (1838-1921) and also travelled through Italy where, according to Nicola Gordon Bowe, he appears to have come under the influence of the Italian Symbolist painter Giovanni Segantini (1858-99). He first Exhibited: at the RHA in 1903 and at the RA in 1909. His work straddled a number of genres and styles, combining the heightened realism of the Pre-Raphaelites (see for instance his illustrations for Kenneth Graham's The Golden Age of 1915), with the otherworldly 'faery' subject matter much in vogue in Ireland during the Literary Revival. Cornwall began dominating Enraght Moony's oeuvre from 1927 and it was here the artist died in March of 1946, four years after this work was executed.
