Dating & Historical Context
• Dating: This matching pair dates strictly and precisely to 1997. Both prints are directly hand-signed in white ink and dated "'97" by the artist's own hand on the bottom right corner of the print field, matching his late-90s gallery release cycle.
• Historical Note: Born in 1959, Philip Gray is one of Ireland's most celebrated living contemporary artists, highly famous for his background as an Irish Navy deep-sea diver. His deep, technical relationship with the sea and reflective waters informs his signature use of light. This particular pair represents his critically acclaimed late-1990s travel portfolios: The Dublin Collection (depicting a historic, lamp-lit view over the River Liffey and Ha'penny Bridge) and The Kerry Collection (showcasing the ethereal, atmospheric mountain reflections along the wild South West coast). Gray's works are held in elite international collections globally, with notable collectors including former US Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

Description
A historically rich and visually arresting pair of companion art pieces, these authentic 1997 Philip Gray prints capture the romantic mood of Ireland's urban and rural waterways. The first piece features a serene twilight landscape from the Kerry Collection, showcasing jagged peaks mirrored perfectly across a glassy lake under a brilliant crimson and violet sunset. The second piece from the Dublin Collection showcases the historic Ha'penny Bridge spanning the Liffey, its gas lamps casting long, warm golden beams into the misty Irish rain. Both prints display a mastery over dramatic value, utilizing soft pastel-like gradients contrasted by crisp architectural outlines.
Expert Identification & Design Features:
• Substantial 13 x 11" Dimensions: Both pieces are housed in 13 x 11-inch external frames, providing an impressive wall presence as companion pieces for a balanced wall gallery or side-by-side display.
• Authentic Hand Signatures: Each piece features a crisp, un-faded hand signature by Philip Gray accompanied by the '97 dating directly in the corner.
• Gallery Presentations: Fitted with luxury double mounts (mats) with a cream linen outer tier and a coordinated inner border that emphasizes the deep purples of the artwork.
• Bespoke Framing: Housed in two distinct, complimentary period wooden frames—one in a deeply carved dark mahogany-stained tone, and the other in a warm natural oak finish, mirroring traditional estate formatting.

Condition Report
This pair of prints is in excellent vintage condition. The lithograph pigments are remarkably vivid and show absolutely no UV fading, yellowing, or foxing across the fine art paper. The glass panels are entirely free from cracks, deep scratches, or interior condensation film. Both the natural oak and dark mahogany-stained wooden frames are structurally tight at the mitred corners, displaying only negligible surface scuffs consistent with careful residential gallery display over the past three decades. The rear backing tape is completely intact, unpeeled, and securely sealed to protect the internal artwork environment.
