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. Kennedy, October 2014
