One of his greatest portraits of an ordinary man practising his profession, with the man of the dockyards assuming a universal importance and dignity as he raises his hand to the unseen crane manipulator. MacGreevy (op.cit) has described The Breaker out as ‘timeless’; and the painting anticipates the more deliberately symbolic characters in the paintings of the 40’s.” (Hilary Pyle, Jack B Yeats: A Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings, Andre Deutsch Ltd., London 1992, p. 264). $150,000-250,000
