Glenbrook and the Turkish Baths - (:unkn) unknown (My University, 1990)
Glenbrook is a village between Passage West and Monkstown in County Cork, Province of Munster, Ireland. Monkstown, Glenbrook and Passage West are three closely-knit villages side by side along the harbour. 'This watercolour of Glenbrook by Bosanquet was painted some time in the 1860s. Bosanquet is known to have been visiting Cork in 1863 and this seems the most probable date for the painting. The hotel and baths in the painting do not seem to correspond with the description of the actual buildings at any specific time and it seems probable that Bosanquet intends only an impression of the buildings?and a rather romanticised impression at that.'
