Footnote
Of all The Glasgow Boys, George Henry is one of the most notable for the diversity and innovation of his artistic output. From realist works inspired by the French naturalist school, through avant-garde forays into folkloric subject matter that demonstrated an engagement with Symbolism and Post-Impressionism, Henry’s abundant skill encompassed the fast-moving developments in European art at the end of the nineteenth century.
