專家說明

Hilary Pyle (loc. cit) comments, 'The interior of a concert hall, the audience gazing up at the Christy Minstrels on stage, grouped in a semi-circle around the leading singer (a motif used by Yeats in the oil 'Singing Way Down Upon the Swanee River' in 1942). The single figure in the back row may be a self-portrait of the artist. '[There are] some Irish girls and a youth in the foreground who are about to emigrate themselves.' (Note by Yeats in the Gaelic American, 5 April 1904)'.
