-
Description
Lovely piece of original Irish art. We love this one!!
Oil on canvas by Irish artist, John Loughney.
"The Quiet Pint", depicts a typical Irish Country Pub scene of a farmer having a quiet pint of Guinness in the afternoon in his local Pub!!
You cannot get more Irish than that!!
Lovely simple painting that captures ‘the ESSENCE’ of Irish Country Life !
Signed on bottom left, "John Loughney”.
From circa 1950.
It depicts a farmer having a ‘Quiet Pint’ of Guinness in a Country Pub Bar area. The farmer is in his work clothes and you can make out the silhouette of a barmaid serving in the Lounge through the glass door. Up until the 1960s, men would drink in the bar area of a pub and ladies would sit in the Lounge area….sexist by today’s standards but part of the history of Irish Pub’s nonetheless! -
