<B>Andrew Nicholl RHA (1804-1886)</B><BR>ON KILLINEY HILL<BR>signed lower left; inscribed on reverse<BR>watercolour with sgraffito<BR>47 by 69cm., 18.5 by 27in.<BR>A view from Killiney Hill, south along Dublin Bay, towards Bray Head and with the Big and Little Sugarloaf mountains visible to the south-west. Along the coast can be seen three Martello towers (erected during the Napoleonic Wars). The small herd of cattle in the foreground has been transposed from earlier studies and appears in at least one other known work: Belfast from Newtownbreda Church (Ulster Museum, Belfast). It would appear this work was executed before 1854 when the Dublin-Kingsotwn railway was extended to Bray, and which features in later views of this area by this and other artists.<BR>
