Portsall is a small beachside settlement in the Finistere region of Brittany, France. Piper, in mid-career, seems to have been particularly attracted to relatively desolate Celtic coastlines, with the Brittany subjects (which date from the end of the 1950s to the early 1960s) supplemented by comparable series of works depicting the beaches and cliffs of Anglesey and of Pembrokeshire, in Wales; and - by the mid-1960s - Connemara in Ireland.

We are very grateful to Rev. Dr Stephen Laird FSA for preparing this catalogue entry.
