In August 1931 William Nicholson and family holidayed on the west coast of Ireland, near Letterfrack in County Galway. During the three week stay he produced a portrait, since lost, a landscape of the hills near Letterfrack (private collection) and this beautifully observed study of two red gurnards. Unlike his other fish paintings where the subjects lie on plates or newspaper, these are resting on the sandy beach against a bank of seaweed and pebbles.

We are very grateful to Patricia Reed for her assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
