183310261833. Black chalk and graphite on lightweight cream wove paper 16 1/8 x 11 1/4 inches 410 x 286 mm the full sheet. Signed titled and dated in sepia ink in the lower-center sheet area. With horizontal folds approximately 1-inch from the sheet edge at each of the four sheets. The drawing appears to have been folded at the sheet edges to fit into a frame. "Inscribed Guillaume hameau del. 29 Janvier 1883." Finn mac Cumail or mac Umaill often anglicized Finn McCool or MacCool is a hero in Irish mythology as well as in later Scottish and Manx folklore. He is the leader of the Fianna bands of young roving hunter-warriors as well as being a seer and poet. He is said to have a magic thumb that bestows him with great wisdom. He is often depicted hunting with his hounds Bran and Sceólang and fighting with his spear and sword. Fionn MacCumhail was transformed into the character "Fingal" in James Macpherson's poem cycle Ossian 1760 which Macpherson claimed was translated out of discovered Ossianic poetry written in the Scottish Gaelic language. <br /> <br /> Fionn MacCumhail features heavily in modern Irish literature. Most notably he makes several appearances in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake 1939 and some have posited that the title taken from the street ballad "Finnegan's Wake" may also be a blend of "Finn again is awake" referring to his eventual awakening to defend Ireland. unknown
