Provenance: 
the Estate of Lucy Wertheim (by repute); 
Private Collection 

Note:
Kenneth Hall and his partner, Basil Rákóczi (1908-1979), founded The White Stag Group of modernist artists in 1935. Influenced by Surrealism and founded in London, they moved to Ireland in late 1939, following the start of the Second World War. There the Group flourished, gaining both local and continental members, including Nano Reid and Patrick Scott. Rakoczi and Halls work brought modernism to Dublin and they gained a sizeable and positive reputation for their work, which focused on psychological states and esoteric myth and symbols.
