Connemara (The Twelve Pins of Bunnabeola) Print by James Humbert Craig

This is a framed color lithographic print after an original oil painting by the renowned Irish landscape artist James Humbert Craig (1877–1944). The artwork depicts 'The Twelve Pins of Bunnabeola' in Connemara, a classic scene characterized by rugged mountains, reflective water, and figures in a small boat by the rocky shoreline. The palette is dominated by muted earthy tones, deep blues, and soft ochre highlights. The print bears the artist's signature 'J.H. CRAIG' in the lower left corner and includes a secondary descriptive title in the lower right bottom margin. It is housed in an ornate, gilded gesso-on-wood frame with a decorative floral relief pattern and an 'inner lip' border. The print is professionally matted with a terracotta-colored mat and protected by glass. The overall condition appears stable, though there are minor scuffs on the gold leaf of the frame consistent with age. The print quality suggests a mid-20th-century mass-production decorative piece, likely intended for the Irish or expatriate market. The composition reflects the post-impressionist influence typical of Craig’s work, emphasizing atmosphere and the stark beauty of the Irish West.
