Richard V. West has written, "In Donegal, painted in Ireland in 1926 or 1927, the role of the figure is more enigmatic. Kent was fascinated by Celtic history and the monuments of the Druids; hence, the figure-- which may simply be that of a woman with a shawl -- operates here on a symbolic level, brooding over the landscape, while at the same time being absorbed into it." ("Rockwell Kent Reconsidered," p. 134)
