Puffin Rock, Ireland
1926–1927

A painting depicting geometrically shaped rocks or icebergs rising out of a body of water, with a muted sky above featuring soft clouds. The central rock formation is highlighted with a touch of greenery on its peak, contrasting with the predominantly brown and dark tones of the other formations. The water is rendered with gentle ripples, suggesting calmness. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
