1 Rose Maynard Barton RWS 1856-1929 CLOTH ALLEY, SMITHFIELD Watercolour, 14" x 8" (30.5 x 20cm), signed and dated 1892; bears title on a label attached to the backboard. Provenance; Cork, Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Rose Barton Exhibition, 1987, no. 33. “I think that ‘Cloth Fair’ was the most troublesome place in which I ever painted in London – not that the inhabitants wanted to hinder me, but that artists’ visits are less frequent there than in other parts. However, the interest shown in my work was very keen. I managed to sit on a step with my back to the door, and no one would get exactly behind me, but at noon strings of mill girls used to swarm up the street, crowd about me and watch and order one another to get out of Lydy’s way.”

9 Lady Beatrice Glenavy RHA 1881-1970 THE DANCE Oil on canvas, 18" x 26" (46 x 69cm), signed and dated 1933; inscribed with original price of £15 on reverse.

Provenance: Acquired by the previous owner’s parents directly from the artist in the 1930s; Private Collection, Dublin.

Exhibited: The RHA Annual Exhibition 1934, no. 155, for sale at 15 gns. The artist is best known as Lady Glenavy, painter of surreal, mythological scenes and still-lifes where reality and illusion are interchangeable, although she had achieved precocious renown in Dublin as Beatrice Elvery for her sculpture, painting, graphic illustrations and stained glass before she married the Hon. Gordon Campbell (son of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland) in 1912. In 1918, after eight years in London, she and her brilliant barrister husband returned to Dublin with two small children at a politically explosive period in Ireland, living at various addresses until they settled in Kimmage, Co. Dublin in 1922. Much of her work was destroyed by a fire at this time. Once her youngest child, born in 1924, was old enough she began painting again in oils and in tempera, on furniture and making small portraits in a pointillist idiom. By 1931, when her husband, by now Secretary to the Irish Free State Department of Industry and Commerce, succeeded to his father’s title, she was painting regularly in oil on canvas. Having first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1902, she continued to do so more or less annually until 1969. She was elected an Academician the year she painted this canvas, which depicts a poet reading in an Arcadian landscape while two shepherdesses dance to the pipe of a boy satyr. This followed her masterpiece, ‘The Intruder’ (1932), ‘The Vain Suit’ (1932-3), also featuring a diaphanously-dressed, straw-hatted shepherdess, Cupid and a playful whippet, and a smaller, similarly composed and figured study, ‘Shepherdess and Poet’ (1933-4). Her paintings were inspired as much by inanimate images of Staffordshire china ornaments, driftwood, children’s toys, memorabilia, be-ribboned plaster plaques, potted flowers and cacti as by lithely sinuous Regency figures performing romantic tableaux in lyrical woodland settings, often beside the sea. Her unerring gift for modelling lively imaginary figures, painted in warm colour harmonies from the fantasy world of her imagination is as recognizable as her fancifully staged theatrical compositions, frozen in suspended motion. This painting was given by the artist to the mother of the previous owner, perhaps via the Swedish consul and his wife, Harry and Signe Eriksson, close friends of the Glenavys in Dublin in the 1930s.

10 Basil Blackshaw RHA RUA b.1932 CAR Oil on canvas, 36" x 28" (91.5cm x 71cm), signed. “Artists talk an awful lot of shite - did I tell you that?” a not uncommon response from Basil Blackshaw when I remind him of some distant observation he had made about one of his works. Today Blackshaw is increasingly Beckettian in his utterances about any of his paintings. More and more monosyllabic. Factually, Blackshaw painted many subjects in which he had absolutely no interest – cats, Venetian blinds and cars among them. For this countryside loving man the ‘fast lane’ has and had little attraction. “Sleeping under a bush, drinking a bottle of stout and killing the odd rat” was a common enough refrain during Basil’s nomadic existence for many years. He ‘kept it country’ but don’t be deceived by his self deprecation. “Doagh (village in County Antrim) is abroad for me” protests Basil. Aye! “So why did you paint cars Basil?” “I don’t know. Why did I paint anything? You don’t know. You get an idea. You make a mark and you don’t know where it takes you. It is all about the marks in painting. “They were just paintings to me. The marks were the main thing. The car was accidental. I didn’t care about cars. It was just the marks on the painting that interested me. There was no hidden agenda.” Eamonn Mallie, in conversation with the artist, 1 November 2013

12 Camille Souter HRHA b.1929 DREAMING Oil on paper, 24" x 22" (61 x 56.5cm), signed and dated 1984; signed and inscribed verso.

Provenance: Taylor Galleries, Dublin (label verso).

From the beginning of her career, Camille Souter has been drawn to places associated with travel: harbours, docks, railway stations, trains, canals, points of perpetual arrival and departure. Towards the end of the 1970s, her son Tim and daughter Emma were attending boarding school in Villiers, County Limerick. While in the area, Souter decided to renew her acquaintance with nearby Shannon Airport. Despite their inherent drama, and the fact that countless numbers of people travel through them on a daily basis, airports have attracted little serious, artistic interest. Souter, on the other hand, took one look at the place and knew she had to paint there. Not long afterwards she began taking flying lessons. The series of work she produced based on her experiences in or around, or above, Shannon are among the most original in modern painting. In airports, it is easy to dream of an escape from the confines of one’s normal day-to-day existence. As Alain de Botton has pointed out that the ability of aircraft to defy gravity (or the weather) and ascend skyward may lead us to contemplate a similar, dramatic transformation of our own circumstances. With the enormous change in perspective upon take-off, things we have grown accustomed to and think we know take on a completely different appearance. For centuries, European artists have painted the landscape as seen from the ground. In this series of works, Souter broke with this convention. Once air-borne, the horizon is not always horizontal or even visible. It takes a minute to find one’s bearings, to make full sense of the patchwork of abstract shapes below. Though the paintings deal with something unequivocally real, the sensation of gliding (like a ‘Greek god’ as Souter would say) is, at times, dreamlike. In “Dreaming”, we are not shown the inside of a cockpit. It is as though the spirit, or mind, has miraculously freed itself from body and risen into the heavens. The viewer floats uncannily without any apparent support above two aeroplanes and the ground below. When commentators first viewed Souter’s highly abstracted work in the 1950s, some were reminded of aerial pictures. Some historians have seen a direct correspondence between works like “Dreaming” and those early paintings with their simplified pared down forms over a textured background, the motif of the white aeroplanes now energising the surface just as her occasional early use of arrows or other symbols once did. The placing of a rectangle, perhaps representing the boundary of field, at an almost 45 degree angle to the bottom edge of the painting suggests the viewer is in the process of a gentle turn.

15 Paul Henry RHA RUA 1876-1858 THE WIND BLOWN TREE, KILLARY HARBOUR Oil on canvas 16" x 19½" (40.5cm x 49.5cm), signed.

Provenance: Adams, Dublin, 2 July 1987, lot 84, where acquired by the present owner; Private Collection, Wicklow.

Literature: S.B. Kennedy, October 2013; Paul Henry: with a catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings, Illustrations, New Haven and London, Yale University Press, 2007, p. 226, catalogue number 629 (as A Western Landscape with a Tree), reproduced. This is a view of Killary Harbour where Henry worked a good deal in the years before he settled in Dublin. Thereafter he continued to make compositions from sketches done earlier, and it was in this manner that The Wind Blown Tree came about. The muted tones in the foreground and in the background mountains, which must be the Mweelrea Mountains, betray the influence of his one-time teacher in Paris, James McNeill Whistler. Henry made a number of compositions of wind blown trees, in which his attention is directed at the stark architecture of the trees. The brushwork also echoes Whistler, whose advice to his students was to work things out in one’s mind and then set it down deliberately and concisely. Here, with little or no overpainting, we see this good advice in practice and the foreground grass, rocks and tree have been painted with great economy of means, as has the water beyond and the mountains too, which are rendered with little detail, save for the direction of the muted light. Dated 1925-9 on stylistic grounds. S. B. Kennedy, October 2013

16 Joseph Malachy Kavanagh RHA 1856-1918 DUBLIN BAY COCKLE PICKERS Oil on canvas, 23" x 38" (53.5 x 96.5cm), signed and dated 1895. Exhibited: Almost certainly at The RHA in 1896, No.44 (£30). Kavanagh studied at the Metropolitan School of Art from 1877 to 1878. He went to the Académie Royale in Antwerp, in 1881, with Walter Osborne and Nathaniel Hill (with whom he shared marked similarities in style). On his first visit, he took the Natur class, returning for the winter of 1882-3, to take the Life class with Verlat. From here, he returned several paintings to the RHA, set in and round Antwerp and Bruges. At this time, Kavanagh was much influenced by both seventeenth-century and contemporary nineteenth-century Dutch art. He also went to Brittany, in France, where he lightened his palette, although he never relinquished form and embraced Impressionism, even briefly. On his return to Ireland, Kavanagh settled in Clontarf and produced paintings of local views of Dublin and its environs: Sutton, Portmarnock, North Bull Sandymount and Merrion. It has been suggested that figure drawing was not Kavanagh’s strong point, and indeed he often depicts people from behind, but his broad simplified forms are more a demonstration of his awareness of the work of modern, contemporary artists, such as Van Gogh, Gauguin and Whistler, than a demonstration of weakness. The emphatic simplification of form has the effect of granting stature to the shore workers of Dublin, a subject he returned to many times. A number of paintings and numerous studies of cockle pickers in the 1890s show Kavanagh at his best. The cloudy skies, the long beaches, and the choppy seas are unromantic, rugged and realist. The two large and boldly simplified figures, on the left, are countered by the small, foreshortened figure of the boy picking cockles, with his fingers deep in the wet sand, on the right. As Keeper of the Royal Hibernian Academy, Kavanagh was resident in their premises on Abbey Street when the buildings, including his studio and paintings, were destroyed by fire during the Easter Rising in 1916. He remained in the Academy from the Easter Monday to the Wednesday, when he was lucky to escape with his life from the burning building. He never fully recovered from the experience. As a result, although prolific, his works are rare. Prof. Niamh O’Sullivan, October 2013 €14,000 - 18,000

20 Jack Butler Yeats RHA 1871-1957 A PUB IN DEVON (1890) Indian ink, 14½" x 21" (37 x 53.3cm), signed and dated 1890.

Provenance: Theo Waddington Fine Art, London (label verso).

A young man, smartly dressed in riding breeches, is being confronted by a stern pub landlord. Yeats provides clues to the nature of the dispute. Two prominent signs above the bar refer to payment and to the rules of the establishment in this regard, based on past experience. ‘Chalk is useful say what you will. But it don’t pay…’ and ‘Old Trust is Dead. Bad Pay Killed Him’. Clearly the naive young man has not paid his account and the fact that his hands are thrust deep into his pockets suggests that he is not in a position to do so. Above the wide gap between the two men, hanging over the fireplace, is a large picture of a volcano erupting. This indicates that the barman’s calm exterior will not last long. The fact that the regular clients have retreated outside the door from where they can safely observe the proceedings also suggests that an outbreak of temper is expected. This inclusion of onlookers is a typical trope of Yeats. It alleviates the tension and allows the viewer to participate in the drama by empathising with these figures. The final confirmation of a showdown comes from the two large settees which have been turned inwards to the fireplace, barricading those seated on them off from the inevitable tirade. This detailed drawing alludes to Yeats’s time in Devon where he bought a house in 1895, and where he sketched the antics of local farmers and labourers. Carefully scrutinized, it conveys his ability to extract drama and humour from his observations of contemporary life. Similar to the type of wit displayed in his cartoons, the complexity of the detail makes this a more ambitious work, in which many of the themes of his later art is evident. It is an early exploration of the world of consumerism that he was to develop in later works such as the Country Shop (1912, National Gallery of Ireland) and in several oil paintings. It is also a delightful representation of an encounter between youth and age and between different social classes in which the arrogance of youth clearly does not know what it has let itself in for.

21 Jack Butler Yeats RHA 1871-1957 GAFF IN THE EAST END OF LONDON (c.1900) Indian ink, 14" x 20½" (35.5 x 52cm), signed.

Provenance: Theo Waddington Fine Art, London (labels verso).

The heyday of the Gaff or Penny Theatres was a few decades before Yeats made this illustration. He was aware of their demise when he made this. They were notorious but popular establishments in the East end of London in the nineteenth century where they were set up in outhouses or in a range of available buildings. A penny or halfpenny secured the customer entrance for which they could partake of light refreshments and a variety of entertainment. The middle classes regarded these businesses with some horror, considering them to be unregulated spaces in which impressionable youths could easily be corrupted and which tended to attract the lower classes in large numbers. The stages were constructed so as to allow as much room as possible for the audience. This facilitated the substantial crowds and secured the owner a decent return on the performance. Popular plays often included scenes of violence and criminal behaviour, with highwaymen being especially well-liked characters. (The bill for a forthcoming performance of Dick Turpin is pasted on the wall in Yeats’s Gaff). Another recurring theme of the melodramas was the African slave and in this drawing, Cato the Slave is being performed. It is evident that the lead role is played by a white actor who has blackened up for the part. In the Gaff a mixed and rather sedate audience of smartly dressed middle aged men and women enjoy the play. They keep their coats and hats on indicating the brevity of the performance and the informality of the venue. A lady carries a large plate of food while a man at the back of the audience gazes upwards, showing as much curiosity about the setting as the activity on stage. On the right hand side a toothless character draws back a large curtain and gestures us in. Behind him a man loiters apart from the audience, enjoying a smoke. On the other side of the hall a group of young boys are trying out their boxing skills with one of them receiving a rather violent punch on the chin. Through the use of cross-hatching in Indian ink and in the application of white highlights on the stage and in the left foreground, Yeats recreates the bizarre and fantastic atmosphere of the theatre. The pen and ink drawing is one of a series which Yeats intended to publish as a book, Pastimes of the Londoners. In the end he did not secure a publisher but some of the series appeared as illustrations in the Manchester Guardian in 1905. C.P. Scott, the editor of the newspaper, may not have considered this one to be suitable, as he expressed caution over the nature of some of the imagery in the illustrations which he thought might shock the public. The boys trying their hand at boxing, in particular, could have been considered unsuitable for a family paper. Roisin Kennedy, October 2013 €14,000 - 18,000 27

29 Gerard Dillon 1916-1971 ARAN HORSEMEN Oil on board 18" x 21" (46 x 53.5cm) signed; inscribed verso. Exhibited: Gerard Dillon ‘Early Paintings of The West’, The Dawson Gallery, March 1971, Cat No 3, where acquired by the present owner's family. Living in Dublin during the War, Dillon frequented the Country shop, St. Stephen’s Green where Aran work by Basil Rákóczi and Elizabeth Rivers were on view. This might have prompted him to travel to the area but it is more likely Seán Keating influenced his decision to first visit the Islands in 1943. In the Envoy magazine, 1951 Dillon stated, “Sean Keating’s illustrations for “Playboy of the Western World”…were the first things that made me want to paint.” Executed on canvas and panel Dillon’s images of Aran in the early 1940’s were characteristically naïve and generally subdued in tone, “Aran Lovers” and “Aran Horses.” Executed on board, the artist’s palette in “Aran Horsemen” appears brighter suggesting the work may have been executed from a thumbnail sketch sometime later. On horseback, two riders appear dressed in tradition Aran garb, ‘léine ghlas, (tunic), bástchóta (waistcoat), treabhsar (trousers) ‘Pampooties” (shoes) and ‘bubbelíns (hats) which had a decorative feature of a ball of knotted thread. The landscape is devoid of other life. There are no hedges, trees or livestock in the pattern of grey walls. Without a companion Dillon often spent periods alone in remote areas and many of his Western Landscapes depict a single or two figures in an isolated landscape. The Islanders, however knew no other way of life and were hardy, wild and independent folk who had developed a survival system of total self-sufficiency. With the decline of families speaking Irish on Aran in the 1960’s, Dillon’s images are a record of another era where Islanders lived without gas heating, modern technology and daily boat visits from tourists. Dillon’s 1971 exhibition at the Dawson Gallery, “Early Paintings of The West” brought together a unique collection from his visits to Aran and Connemara, where he claimed, “One could live… forever.” Karen Reihill, October 2013 Currently researching Gerard Dillon & Friends.

30 Jack Butler Yeats RHA 1871-1957 LET ME AT HIM (1897) Watercolour, 12" x 19" (30.5 x 48.3cm), signed and dated 1897.

Provenance: Theo Waddington Fine Art, London (label verso).

In ‘Let Me at Him’ two aggressive men are being held back as they goad each other into a fight. A group of onlookers sit on the grass bank behind enjoying the spectacle. The watercolour was made when Yeats was living in Devon in the 1890s and is part of a series of paintings of local fairs and activities. Working as an illustrator and cartoonist for London periodicals, Yeats was accustomed to noticing and recording amusing incidents that he witnessed on his various excursions. This gathering of smartly, if slightly dishevelled, dressed men indicates that they have been attending a market or race meeting and that the altercation comes at the end of a long day. While no reference to alcohol is made here, cider drinking features in other Yeats depictions of Devon farming life, a normal way for working men to relax in the West Country. Thin washes of green indicate the ground while applications of thick white paint bring a shaft of light into the sky. Great attention is paid to the detail of the poses and expressions of the figures, skilfully conveying the confusion and humour of the exchange. Yeats delights in the variations of costume showing the men dressed in a variety of outfits befitting their social status. A sailor can be seen on the extreme left while one of the aggressors and his companion wear rather intricate gaiters over their trousers, suggesting that they have spent the day working. Fighting was a common theme in Yeats’s early watercolours which included his many portrayals of boxing matches as well as outbreaks of violence in everyday life. He was not interested in showing bloodshed but rather his paintings focus on the tension and posturing caused by the initial taunting, and especially the wider response of the bystanders. The full title of this work is ‘Hold me Hat Till I Tear ‘Un! Let me at him’. This is undoubtedly an overheard remark that Yeats has noted down and then reused as a title for the painting. As in his other representations of fights, the work suggests a momentary flare up that will quickly dissipate thanks to the involvement of the onlookers. It is above all a witty and sharply observed handling of the subject. Roisin Kennedy, October 2013

33 Colin Middleton RHA RUA 1910-1983 THE WASHING LINE (1939) Oil on canvas, 24" x 17¾" (61 x 45cm), signed with monogram. It is revealing to consider ‘The Washing Line’ in the light of Middleton’s own analysis of another of his surrealist paintings from the same period. In his notes, he writes of spiritual and political confusion indicated in the painting by the use of faulty perspective, with damage wrought to buildings representing more personal trauma inflicted on the souls of men. The ladder that goes nowhere represents the suggestion of help that turns out to be useless. While the landscape is dry and bright, all the windows give way to shadow (again the artist’s notes emphasise the important role these openings play) and the barred grille on the door that potentially leads to escape also suggests a prison. The target painted on a wall hints at violence and the woman who seems to be lifting a headscarf to reveal her identity is ambiguous, a figure that will help or who will lead into danger. While the meaning of the painting is typically elusive and the mood has a certain menace, the bright airiness and energy of the work also suggests an escape. The buildings and landscape seem to connect this work with Middleton’s interest in the Spanish Civil War; implied or actual violence is peripheral but usually present in these paintings, although less overtly than in his works that deal with the Second World War.

34 Basil Blackshaw RHA RUA b.1932 TOMMY ORR, BLACKSMITH Oil on canvas 25½" x 31½" (65cm x 80cm); signed, dated ’85 verso. In ‘Tommy Orr- the Blacksmith’, for the first time two literary images immediately came to mind, Heaney’s ‘Door into the Dark’ but more especially the Spanish writer Miguel Delibes’s ‘El Camino’. Herein lay the beautiful description of the blacksmith at work. “Con frecuencia el herrero trabajaba en camiseta y su pecho herculeo subia y bajaba al aspirar come si fuera el de un elefante herido.” “His chest rising and falling as he breathed like a wounded elephant”. Blackshaw’s portrayal of Tommie Orr is strictly informed by observation of this artisan at work. He was in and out of forges all around County Down even when he was a child, going there to get ponies shod. On this occasion he had joined Perry Moorhead who was having his horse shoed by Tommie. One can imagine the craic, banter and chaffy gossip passing among these country folk. Blackshaw said “It was just when I was standing there in the forge that I got the vision. It was quite dark in the forge and of course you had the plumes of white smoke from the horses feet, when Tommie was fitting the hot shoes. It was one of those times when you had a chance to take in what was really going on around you.” said the artist. His choice of colour in portraying the atmosphere of the inside of the single storey building on the Comber/Killyleagh Road in County Down is no accident. Blackshaw was so at home in this environment, yarning and conversing in an era when numerous horses and their owners came together, in the words of Patrick Kavanagh “more devilment than for work.” The age of Tommie Orr has passed regrettably but we are fortunate in having the Heaneys, the Delibeses and the Blackshaws of that period to capture the quintessence of what we were.

37 Paul Henry RHA RUA 1876-1958 AN ACHILL WOMAN (c.1910) Oil on board, 15" x 9" (38 x 23cm), signed.

Provenance: Label verso shows this painting was once in the collection of the artist Emer O’Rourke Dickey; Private Collection, Belfast.

Exhibited: Paintings by Mrs. Frances Baker, Grace Henry, Paul Henry, Casimir Dunin-Markiewicz and George Russell (AE), Leinster Hall, Dublin, 16-21 October 1911, catalogue number 13. Literature: S. B. Kennedy: Paul Henry: with a catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings, Illustrations, New Haven and London, Yale University Press, 2007, p. 162, catalogue number 337 (The Red-haired Woman). This may be The Red-haired Woman picture that Paul Henry exhibited in his 1911 Dublin exhibition. When Henry first visited Achill, in the summer of 1910, it was the people of the island, going about their everyday endeavours, who caught his attention. His interest in the landscape of the island and of Connemara in general dates mainly from later years. To Henry the intrigue of the people of Achill recalled Daumier, whose peasant workers – The Angelus comes instantly to mind – he knew from his student days. The elderly folk of Achill particularly fascinated him, as she noted years later in his autobiography, An Irish Portrait (London, Batsford, 1951). ‘I have yet to see people who worked so hard for so little gain’, he said. And the women, in their homespun flannel clothes, made a deep impression on him because of their perseverance in the face of adversity. In An Achill Woman, as in many of his early Achill pictures-Old People Watching a Dance or Old Age Pensioners, for example-there is a sense of pathos in the facial expression of the woman, which is set down with great economy of means.

After completing his studies in Dublin and Antwerp, and then painting in Brittany for some months in 1883, Walter Osborne spent much of the period of 1884-1991 in England. He worked in a number of different small towns and villages, representing life in the farmyard, village and coastal town, agricultural scenes and landscapes. Some of his finest genre scenes were painted during this period in England. In 1884-85, for instance, Osborne painted at Southwold and Walberswich on the Suffolk coasts, and depicted a series of coastal subjects with children, including An October Morning, 1885, (Guildhall Art Gallery, London) and A Tale of the Sea(2); and Playing on the Shingle(3) was painted at Wells-near-the-sea. In 1889-90 he was working at Hastings and Rye on the Sussex coast, and he painted Boat Builders, 1889 and The Ferry, 1889-90. These are set at Rye in East Sussex. An ancient fortified town on the coast, Rye became one of the Cinque ports. A massive storm in 1287 diverted the River Rother, and in 1377 the town was attacked and burned by the French(4). Rye was substantially rebuilt, but in the 16th Century the harbour began to silt up, and is now situated two miles inland. In Osborne’s day Rye was a pretty, bustling town of red brick and timber houses, as recorded in Cherry Ripe, c1889 (Ulster Museum, Belfast), one of his most important pictures of the period. Osborne was fascinated by the harbour and painted several studies and larger pictures, including Beached Fishing Vessels(5), A Study, Rye and On the Quay, Rye, Sussex 1889, delightful small studies, (the latter which he gave to his artist friend Blandford Fletcher;)(6); Boat Builders, 1889(7) featuring boys in the foreground and the fishing fleet in the background; Sketch for The Ferry(8); Boats in Rye Harbour, a wash painting, featuring the moored fishing fleet, with a windmill in the background (NGI Cat No. 2625); and the present picture The Ferry.

“the most important large landscape of Osborne’s earlier works” Thomas Bodkin, 1920 (1)

The Ferry is set in a tranquil river estuary, and includes a wealth of detail: the family group in the foreground, the ferryman on the river and boy in rowing boat to the left; the substantial fishing fleet moored at the river bank; and a line of trees. Prominent in the foreground is the group of figures, an elderly woman, probably with her two grandchildren. THUMB 1 She wears a bonnet, shawl and white apron, and is viewed in profile. Holding a bundle, she waits anxiously. The boy with cap holds a slate, and wears the strap of a satchel over his shoulder. He resembles the child in Joe the Swineherd, 1890(9), perhaps also painted in Sussex, and here, as in Near St. Patrick’s Close, 1887 (National Gallery of Ireland), and in several contemporary pictures by Osborne, he looks out at the viewer, engaging our attention. The girl wears pretty straw boater, scarf, pale grey dress and white apron. As in several contemporary pictures, her figure is viewed from behind, facing into the river, and her pose echoes that of the girl in A Waterway, Lincoln, 1884(10), even in her clasped hands. The figures are carefully observed and skilfully drawn, the contrast of poses, and the theme of Youth and Age, reflecting themes in many European pictures of the Naturalist period. The family wait on a rough pier, clustered at the side and lower edge of the composition, the figures partially cut off. These were highly original compositional devices in Irish Art for the time, suggesting the influence of photography, including photos taken with Osborne’s own camera. A small photograph by Osborne in the National Gallery of Ireland (cat no. CS1A/05B1/23) shows the fishing fleet at Rye, the boats with their sails up. The letter ‘RX45’ and ‘RX21’ are visible on the sides of two vessels. The girl watches the approach of the bearded old ferryman in his rowing boat THUMB 2. As Francois Puget points out, the mariner’s manner of rowing is unusual: instead of being seated, his back facing the prow, he is facing forwards, and appears to be standing!(11) At the left of the Photo © National Gallery of Ireland composition, Osborne features geese and a rowing boat with a boy in it. In the middle distance, a fishing fleet, with a variety of attractive vessels with tall masts, some with nets drying, is moored. Puget identifies the letters ‘RX’ on the side of the large cutter, as those denoting Rye in the maritime district of Hastings. A pale grey net is suspended from the spar. The central boat is of interesting dimensions, is rigged as a schooner, and may have been used as a transport vessel.(12) The small boat on the right is utilised for fishing for small fish off the coast. The idea of the ferryman was an evocative one, present in mythology, literature, painting and song since ancient times. The theme of the family group, the standing ferryman, and the serpentine river composition, may have half-remembered echoes of Under the Cherry Tree by John Lavery, 1884 (Ulster Museum, Belfast), and of the haunting painting The Poor Fisherman, 1881 by Puvis de Chavannes (Musee d’Orsay, Paris). But in Osborne’s picture there is a wood in the background, a cultivated landscape, and a gentle, cloudflecked sky.

Jeanne Sheehy comments on The Ferry that: “with its dependence on anecdote, and its detailed finish, it is a full-blown academic piece”:(13), perhaps implying that Osborne completed it carefully, with an eye to submitting it to important exhibitions. The painting is carefully constructed, the figures, probably based on pencil studies and photographs, being added to the foreground. Such details as the figure of the little girl, the ferryman, and the boy in the rowing boat, would form exquisite vignettes in their own right, and the green ripples beneath the ferry and oars display the artist’s mastery in observing Nature accurately. In The Ferry and Osborne’s other pictures of Rye the fishing vessels and landscapes are evidently painted from life THUMB 3. The letters ’RX’ are also visible on one boat in the companion picture Boat Builders. The overall tonality of The Ferry is subdued yet glowing, characterized by browns, burnt siennas, lavenders, olive greens and ochres. Bodkin notes that “These are relieved by the pale striped shawl which the old woman… wears, the boy’s blue muffler, and the little girl’s neckware delicately coloured with touches of pink, yellow and pale, bright blue”(14). The whole canvas is glowing with a host of subtle, resonant colours. A lightness in the sky suggests that sunlight is about to break through. Referred to as one of Osborne’s ‘earlier’ landscapes by Bodkin, The Ferry was actually painted right in the middle of the artist’s career. It may have been the largest canvas that he had painted to that date, and it remained one of his largest landscapes. It was widely exhibited during Osborne’s day: in London, Liverpool, Dublin and Birmingham (see above) and in Chicago, where it was awarded a bronze medal, and it was illustrated several times in exhibition catalogues. It was included in the Osborne Memorial Exhibition in 1903, and was given a full plate and discussion in Bodkin’s Four Irish Landscape Painters. It may have remained in the artist’s possession during his lifetime. It later entered the collection of the Honourable Jonathan Hogg, PC. Born into a Quaker family in Co. Dublin in 1848, Hogg was a Banker and a Tea and Wine merchant. He and his wife Margaret (b. 1853) had married in 1876, and lived in Orwell Road, Rathgar, not too far from the Osborne’s family home in Rathmines.(15)

Provenance: Crane Kalman Gallery, London; Christie’s, London, 9th May 1996 (lot 9); Milmo-Penny Fine Art, Dublin; Private Collection, Dublin; Sotheby’s Irish Sale, 16 May 2002 (lot 75), for which the catalogue note read: Painted circa 1904, this interior is unusual in combining a figure study with a formal still life, and in so doing it forms a link between the Breton still lifes of the 1890s and the later ‘intimiste’ works of the early 20th century. The same still life is featured in Still LIfe with Apple, Bottles and Jug (1904, private collection), the only variation being that one central bottle does not appear in the present work. The fruit plates and small cup to the right of the eartnenware pitcher are fashioned from the same blue and white tin glazed earthenware, or the same ones as featured in O’Conor’s Self Portrait of 1910, and the large preserving pan behind the easel is similar to those featured in Aloysius O’Kelly’s Breton works. Dr Roy Johnson has further commented on this work: “Although perhaps best known for heavily striped landscapes which he painted in and around Pont-Aven between 1892 and 1894, O’Conor also painted numerous portraits of the Breton people. We can identify this young woman as a Pont-Aven resident because of the distinctive shape of her ‘coiffe’ or headdress which is specific to the town. Much more functional than the more elaborate white coiffes worn on Sundays and at religious festivals, this one is an everyday coiffe or ‘coiffe du travail’. “O’Conor has posed his model in a sparsely furnished studio, in which the sloping roof and the dormer window which admits the light are consistent with the architectural details of the old Hôtel des Voyageurs in Pont-Aven. As O’Conor is known to have stayed there in the company of other artists. It is likely the location of this particular interior” (Johnston, March 1996).

55 Sir John Lavery RA RHA RSA 1856-1941 THE WALNUT TREE Oil on board, 24" x 20" (61 x 51cm), signed and inscribed.

Provenance: The Gorry Gallery, Dublin; Private Collection, Dublin.

In the late thirties, following the death of his wife, Hazel, Sir John Lavery made two visits to Palm Springs to visit Gordon and Gertrude Coutts.* It is likely that the present work was painted on one of these trips and that it shows one of the Coutts’s daughters, probably Mary Gordon Coutts, sitting in a walnut tree with the rugged peak of Mount San Jacinto in the background. Coutts (1868-1937) was the son of a boxer from Aberdeen who had trained as a painter in Glasgow, London and at the atelier Julian in Paris before immigrating to Australia. Although it is possible that he met Lavery as a student in the late 1880s, in the early years of the century he travelled extensively, establishing a studio in Tangier where he would also have encountered the painter. Thereafter he moved to California, building a Moorish-style villa, ‘Dar Marroc’, on the edge of the desert, at Palm Springs in 1924. Here, with his second wife, Gertrude, a model, opera singer and talented painter from Ohio, and two daughters, Jean and Mary, he entertained artists, musicians and glitterati such as Rudolph Valentino and Winston Churchill. When he arrived in Palm Springs around the time of his eightieth birthday, after a frustrating few weeks in Hollywood, Lavery found his old friend in the final stages of the tuberculosis which took his life in February 1937. He was nevertheless hosted by the couple at tea parties in the splendid garden of Dar Marroc, which Lavery sketched. During these weeks the artist was joined by his granddaughter, Diana and his current model, Lillian Millar, and he set to work on a portrait of his hostess, and scenes of sunbathers, in one of which Mary posed in a deckchair (sold Phillips London, 12 November 1985). After her husband’s death, recalling these happy times at Palm Springs, Gertrude invited Lavery to return – but this visit ended in tragedy when she was killed in a car crash on 19 December 1937. Swiftly sketched in a single sitting, the present child’s portrait contrasts with the rather stiff rendition of Shirley Temple that Lavery was painting simultaneously. Snapshots of the period indicate that this little girl, unlike her Hollywood counterpart, was a wild spirit who followed the old painter on his daily search for new motifs. For him, as for her, the walnut tree was an irresistible challenge. *See Kenneth McConkey, John Lavery, A Painter and his World, 2010 (Atelier Books), pp. 200, 202-5.

In 1912 Garstin held a summer skecthing party Guémené sur Scorff in Brittany. One Saturday in early July, the party ‘suddenly came upon a tiny church by a couple of farmhouses, very primitive and simple. Just as we arrived the procession started, all peasants, some men and women carrying banners, and a few little red acolytes attending a priest in a yellow cape... it was all wonderfully pictorial. Then they filed back again... and came to the back of the church, where there was a great pile of brush wood. The people stood in a circle and the yellow robed priest set fire to the great pile... the effect was really delightful and pagan. It was St.John’s Eve and these fires came down from the Druids tho’ the good people did not know it. I stood on a cart and made a scribble... but I cannot help thinking it might be a jolly subject for a fairly large picture’ (private correspondence to Alethea Garstin, the artists daughter).

73 Harry Kernoff RHA 1900-1974 SELF PORTRAIT IN THE METROPOLITAN SCHOOL OF ART (THE JUDGEMENT OF PARIS) Oil on canvas, 28" x 36" (71 x 91.5cm). Provenance: Acquired from Miss Lina Kernoff, the artists sister by the previous owner; Adams, 8th December 2004 (lot 148), where purchased by the current owner, for which the catalogue entry read: Harry Kernoff was born in London of a Russian Jewish father and a Spaniard mother, but he moved to Dublin at the age of fourteen. He took classes at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art while working as an apprentice in his father’s cabinet-making business and was the first night student to win the Taylor Art Scholarship in 1923 in both watercolour and oil painting. In 1926 Kernoff exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1935, he became a full time member the following year. In 1936, 1937 and 1940 he exhibited at the Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin and in 1953 he was represented at the Contemporary Irish Art exhibition at Aberystwyth. Kernoff was an accomplished graphic artist, producing woodcuts and illustrations for books, periodicals and ballad sheets. His involvement in Dublin’s literary and theatrical circles allowed him to paint many portraits of actors and playwrights and he also designed theatre sets and costumes. Most of his life was spent in Ireland, but he also travelled to the Soviet Union and then to Nova Scotia in Canada. He was made a life member in 1974 of the United Arts Club, Dublin. In 1976 a memorial exhibition was presented at the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art. His work is represented in the collections of the National Gallery of Ireland, the Dublin Writers Museum, the Waterford Municipal Collection, the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork and the National Self-Portrait Collection, Limerick. Dating to the early 1920’s when Kernoff was in his early twenties, the present work which is believed to have been called “The Judgement of Paris” may well have been intended for entry to a competition such as the Taylor Scholarship in the RDS. Ciaran MacGonigal has commented ‘‘its reference is classical and he used the statue to deal with what would have been tricky for him being both Jewish and under the thumb of his mother and sister, and in addition in Dublin… any direct reference to a nude female figure would have broken several conventions.”

All goods remain the property of the vendor until paid for in full. The Auctioneers will not assume liability to discharge nett proceeds arising from the sale of goods until those goods have been paid for in full.

2. Third Party Liability Every person at or on the ‘Auctioneers’ premises or at any premises being used by the Auctioneer at any time shall be deemed to be there entirely at his/her own risk and shall have no claim whatsoever against the Auctioneers or their servants or agents in respect of any accident or incident which may occur nor any injury, damage or loss howsoever arising and whether or not same is the subject of any allegation of negligence. 3. General Whilst the Auctioneers make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot: (a) Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lots or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. (b) Any claim under any Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneers within three months of the sale. (c) The Auctioneers shall not be liable for consequential or resultant loss or damage whether sustained by a Vendor or a Purchaser or the owner of any item or their respective servants and agents arising in any circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any claim made by any party as to negligence or lack of care of the Auctioneers or any part acting on their behalf. 4. The Auction (a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneer’s discretion.
