An original early 20th-century pastel entitled The Wicklow Hills by D. L. Murray. The composition depicts the rolling mountainous landscape of County Wicklow beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. Small white buildings and a cart or agricultural implement occupy the middle distance, while loosely worked grasses animate the foreground.
Murray employs a restrained palette of deep blues, greens and ochres, using broad, expressive strokes to capture the changing light and atmospheric character of the Irish landscape.
The work is presented under glass in a substantial period giltwood and composition frame with carved and beaded ornament.
