Hone's paintings which were completed in France have many similarities to those that he worked on to his country farm in Co. Dublin, but the finish is perhaps more polished and professional in the later Irish works.
One of his finest pieces is Pastures at Malahide (pictured).
Cows in the foreground of the painting rest quietly grazing against the low horizon.
This allows for a large amount of space to be given to the rich and dominating sky full of white cumulus clouds.
The atmosphere is one of peace and tranquility, while being typically Irish with the feeling of impending rain.
