The Human Child belongs to le Brocquy’s series of apocalyptic paintings from the late 1940s, which featured travelling people or ‘tinkers’ as symbols of the dispossessed who wandered Europe after the Second World War. The series included The Fearful World, In Fear of Cain and Man Creating Bird, all painted in 1948. The Human Child is perhaps the gentlest work from the series. Its title alludes to the human child of Yeat’s poem, The Stolen Child, whom faeries tempt away from worldly troubles: “Come away, O human child! / To the waters and the wild / With a faery, hand in hand, / For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand”. The oil painting for which this is a study was exhibited at the RHA in 1951 and at Ł135 was the artist’s highest priced exhibit at the time (present whereabouts unknown). With thanks to Pierre le Brocquy for his help in cataloguing this work.
