Tangier, 1907. A figure on the shoreline. The wind has its own opinion about where things should be.
A Windy Day is one of Lavery's most elemental paintings — a lone figure braced against the elements on a Moroccan beach, caught in a moment of pure physical struggle. Painted between 1907 and 1909 during his North African travels, the work strips everything back: just a person, a shoreline, and weather with something to prove. Lavery's handling of light and movement in difficult conditions is at its most assured.
It is a small painting that takes up a lot of space on a wall. The energy in it does not stay still.
About Sir John Lavery
Sir John Lavery (1856–1941) was born in Belfast, trained in Glasgow and Paris, and became one of the most celebrated painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His work hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland, the Tate, and major collections worldwide. His portrait of his wife, Hazel Lavery, appeared on every Irish pound note for over fifty years — as Kathleen Ní Houlihan, symbol of the nation. He is not a footnote; he is one of the central figures in Irish and British art.

Questions
Is this a print of the original?
Yes — an archival art print made from a high-resolution scan of Lavery's original painting. The original is held in a private or institutional collection; this print brings it home.
Does it come with a certificate?
Each order includes a printed card with the artwork title, artist biography, and print specifications.
Which size should I choose?
As a rule: measure your wall space, then go one size up from what feels safe. Art almost always looks better larger than you expect. If you're unsure, we're happy to help — just get in touch.
