An intimate and finely detailed etching from Gerald Brockhurst’s early Irish period, 'A Galway Peasant' depicts a solitary woman draped in a shawl, standing against a stark, rugged landscape. The figure’s calm yet penetrating expression conveys a quiet strength and dignity, qualities that characterise Brockhurst’s most sensitive portrayals of rural life during his years in western Ireland.
 
'A Galway Peasant' is listed in the Fletcher catalogue raisonné (Fletcher 10), third state of three, from an edition of 55 impressions.
