B. Kennedy: Paul Henry Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 2000, p.39; Paul Henry with a catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings, Illustrations, Yale, 2007, p.128, catalogue number 151 Reviewing Henry's 1924 Belfast exhibition, Belfast's News-Letter (18 March 1924) commented, possibly of this drawing, that it 'conveys a wonderful sense of elemental fury.... In the foreground are two tall gaunt, leafless trees, bending over before the onslaught of the storm ? and overhead the sky is filled with heavy onimous clouds.' Priced at 12 guineas (�12.12) in the 1908 Goupil Gallery Salon exhibition catalogue, this was considered a finished drawing and not merely a sketch. Although the literary reference in Kennedy, 2007, illustrates another drawing, that reference now seems undoubtedly to refer to this work. Dated c.1898-9 on the form of the signature. Dr. S.B.
