Robert Cresswell Boak was a Donegal artist who settled in London in the late 1920s. Prior to that he exhibited a number of times with the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin.
This vibrant, beautifully hand-coloured etching depicts a romanticised version of a 'cabin home' on the west coast of Ireland. Sentimental as it may be, it captures a scene that no doubt existed: a simple thatched cottage, a woman feeding chickens, a parked horse buggy, bales of hay and of course a beautiful west of Ireland landscape in the background.
Coloured etching on paper, 25 x 18cm. Excellent condition. Newly reframed and mounted in the original frame with archival backing board and mount. Signed bottom right.
