Specialist note
Pyle describes the present work: 'A man in the early morning assumes a theatrical appearance as he is lit by two lights: the cold light of the dawn at his back, and a warm beam from the open kitchen door lighting his face and his side. Behind him in the yard, a small ginger cat comes down from the wall, walking delicately to meet him, its small form lit from the kitchen as well.
The whole painting is sketched finely in indigo on a stained ground, with a concentration of impasto in the foreground emphasizing the man, and the cat, who is the centre of the painting' (Jack B. Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings Vol. II, loc. cit.).
