The Fisherman’s Mother (1892)

Helen Mabel Trevor – Collector’s Edition Framed Fine Art Print

Available size: 40×50 cm / 16×20″

The Fisherman’s Mother (1892) stands among the most powerful portraits produced by Irish artist Helen Mabel Trevor during her celebrated Breton period. Painted in the fishing town of Douarnenez, the work presents an elderly matriarch seated in composed resilience, her weathered hands resting upon a wooden staff entwined with rosary beads. Trevor’s restrained realism and sensitive modulation of light reveal a life marked by devotion, endurance, and quiet authority.

Created during her extended residence in Brittany, the painting reflects Trevor’s deep engagement with coastal communities whose livelihoods depended upon the sea. Douarnenez, renowned for its sardine fisheries and distinctive Breton dress, provided both subject and atmosphere. Contemporary accounts note that the sitter’s five fisherman sons visited Trevor’s studio to view their mother’s likeness — a testament to the portrait’s emotional authenticity.

Exhibition & Provenance

The painting debuted at the Paris Salon of 1893, where critics praised its truthful character study and assured draughtsmanship. Today, the original work forms part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Ireland, affirming its place within Ireland’s 19th-century artistic canon.
