| 1960 was a prolific year for Colin Middleton, after a difficult period from which hardly any paintings survive. He had moved to Coleraine to take up a teaching post around 1957 and this new terrain seems to have inspired Middleton again. Much as Ardglass and the rolling landscape of North Down defined the mood of the early 1950s, so did Carnalridge provide a basis for exploring a more subdued and detached new voice for Middleton in 1960.
The paintings from 1960 onward are in general much less literal in their description of place. This year alone produced a remarkable variety of work abstracting the landscape to different degrees and in this one crucial year we can see much of the genesis of ideas and images that will dominate the next two decades. Middleton searched in drawings for a language to define the motifs that he used to dominate these works (a study in charcoal and a small oil study exist for the present work). The hedge is broken down into a rough and energetic mosaic of geometric shapes, while the horizon and line and the loosely sketched sky provide some spatial clarity.

| The original owner of this work, Lucy Wertheim, was Hall’s first dealer and an ardent advocate of his work. Wertheim supported numerous young, then unknown artists such as Frances Hodgkins and Christopher Wood, and in 1934 gave Hall his first solo exhibition. Hall had studied furniture design in London during the early 1930s, but as a painter was largely self-taught. Around the time of his first exhibition, Hall met Basil Rákóczi, a fellow interior designer and founder of the Society for Creative Psychology. Together they read works on psychoanalysis and painted works they described as “subjective art”. They exhibited these in a shared studio in Fitzroy Street under the collective name of the White Stag Group. During the years 1936-38 they travelled through France, Spain, Italy and Greece. Hall’s second show at the Wertheim Gallery consisted chiefly of paintings of Cap D’Ail, on the French Riviera. In July 1939 he and Rákóczi came to Ireland, partly to avoid conscription, and partly perhaps owing to the fact that both of their mothers hailed from Co. Cork. In an attempt to live frugally they took a cottage at Delphi, Co. Mayo, but returned to Dublin in March 1940. There they re-established the White Stag Group, creating a nucleus for likeminded experimental artists such as Patrick Scott, Mainie Jellett, and Nick Nicholls. After the war Hall returned to London and showed briefly with the Redfern Gallery. However, he suffered acute depression and in July 1946 took his own life. The following year, in the preface to her memoirs, Adventure in Art, Lucy Wertheim paid tribute to Hall, whose untimely death, she wrote “robbed [us] of a very great artist”. |

| Orpen met Captain Maude during World War I in Amiens, where Maude was A.P.M. (Army Provost Marshall). The two became great friends, and Orpen recounts numerous humorous anecdotes about Maude in his memoir, An Onlooker in France. In 1918 Maude was promoted to Major and appointed A.P.M. Cologne, where he remained until demobilisation in 1920. He then accepted the position of Secretary to the Guard’s Club in London. In the letter, written from the Hotel Majestic, Paris, 14 November 1920, Orpen asks for his friend’s help in connection to a portrait of Lord Cavan that he had painted for the Guard’s Club. As it transpired, Maude never assumed duties at the club owing to illness, and died of T. B. in 1922. Accompanying the lot are two letters from Major Maude’s son, dated 1987, detailing the background to the letter and pencil sketch. The letter measures 12.75 by 8 inches. (2) |

Aida MacGonigal née Kelly (1915-1979), known to her friends as ‘Paddy’, was a regular arts reviewer for The Leader, writing under various pseudonyms including Paddy Kelly or P. K., John O’Clery and Aodh McGee. As a young art student she modelled for other artists including Oliver Sheppard, whose marble relief Aida, is in the collection of the Crawford Gallery, and Maurice MacGonigal, whom she married in 1940. During the 1950s she designed sets and costumes for Irish language plays staged by Gael Linn at the Damer Hall on St. Stephen’s Green, and was also involved with the Dublin Grand Opera Society. Another drawing of Aida MacGonigal was in the possession of the sitter’s family at the time of the 1989 RHA retrospective of Keating’s work. With thanks to Maire MacConghail for her information relating to Aida MacGonigal. |

According to Prof. Kenneth McConkey, the name Fauvette, which translates as "hedge warbler" or "little wild bird" is most likely a reference to Bastien-Lepage's celebrated 'Pauvre Fauvette' of 1881 (Glasgow Art Gallery). |

| Herbert Everett (1876-1949), who later changed his name to John Everett, was a marine painter and a fellow student of Orpen’s at the Slade. Everett’s mother Augusta, herself an artist, ran a boarding house for art students, including Orpen, at 21 Fitzroy Street, the sitting room of which featured in Orpen’s A Mere Fracture. Herbert Everett married Orpen’s cousin Katherine, and an account of their heady student days may be read in her memoir, Bricks and Flowers. |

| At some stage in 1899, when Orpen was still a student at the Slade, he witnessed a scene near to Fitzroy Street of a group of actors or acrobats performing. It had a profound influence on him. He was intrigued by the appearance, costumes and inventiveness of the mixed band of men and women … [including] a beautiful girl he called ‘Fatima’ who wore eastern costume. He did several drawings of ‘Fatima’, bejeweled, half-nude, smiling enticingly. … In the three years between the Fatima drawings and Lady with a Parrot, Orpen made huge technical strides. ... Lady with a Parrot includes charcoal, conté, crayon, watercolour and white chalk. The buff paper gives a sensuous richness to the light in the picture. The woman wears eastern costume, and the setting with the paneled cupboard door in the wall, is likely to have been either Fitzroy Street, where he continued to work after his marriage, or his first home in Chelsea. The composition is remarkable for its formality, the design of the picture like a small Dutch interior, the vase in the recess in the top right-hand corner counter-pointing the upright figure of the woman and of the parrot’s perch. The Eastern inspiration prevailed for a period of three years or so and then widened out into some of his most breath-taking early paintings of naturalistic subjects, many of them inspired by two painters he revered, Rembrandt and Velasquez. The work belongs to Orpen’s best period. He was unburdened by portraiture, which later took all his time and energy. He was inspired still by his teachers at the Slade School. He was developing his technique at a rapid pace, his painting and his drawing growing in confidence and maturity and in a grandeur of design. And he was only 25 years old.

| As with many artists, a good number of Paul Henry’s paintings are known by more than one title. This often makes for difficulties in precisely identifying them, although contemporary press reviews (which were usually more detailed than those of today) of the artist’s exhibitions often help in this regard. Thus, for example, the Northern Whig (12 April 1923) in its review of Henry’s 1923 exhibition at Magee’s Gallery, Belfast, commented on a composition called The Bog at Evening in a manner which exactly describes this picture: “the black peat-stacks”, it said, “stand out against the dim brown of the bog, and the curves of their shapes are repeated and magnified in the curves of the mountains, and of the clouds that tower above them”. It continued: “The repetition of these curves gives a sense of rhythm to the design, and the fine purple of the mountains is enriched by the contrast with the blacks and browns of the foreground”. Despite also being known as Evening on an Achill Bog (a label on the reverse of the frame, but not in the artist’s hand, bears this title), it seems likely that this picture is indeed The Bog at Evening which Henry exhibited in 1923. The first owner of the picture, H. L. Shattuck, who also owned another Henry painting, A Mountain Village (now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), almost certainly acquired it from the exhibition of Contemporary Irish Art, held at Grace Horne’s Gallery, Boston, in May 1929.
At any rate, The Bog at Evening shows Henry at the height of his powers. There is an absence of all human activity, his attention is focused firmly on the landscape and his handling of paint and treatment of the scene have become slightly codified, with a suffuse sense of stillness, even of timelessness — in this respect compare, for example, his In the West of Ireland (National Gallery of Ireland), which also dates from the 1920s — in a manner that typifies much of his oeuvre hereafter. Although one cannot be certain, the setting is most probably Connemara, and may be Achill Island.
The size of the composition is unusual for Henry, as is the degree of impasto employed throughout, but these elements serve to illustrate the confidence and vigour of the artist’s early years in Dublin. The handling of colour is particularly subtle, the pinks and warm creams in the cloud formations contrasting with the cooler cobalt blues elsewhere in the sky, while the juxtaposition of the purple mountains and the yellow cornfield in the middle distance is distinctly Post-Impressionist in concept and recalls the artist’s time in Paris. The foreground, too, despite the predominance of the umbers, browns and blacks of the soft earth, is a myriad of pinks and other hues and the reflections in the foreground pool lead the eye back into the composition and ultimately to the splendour of the sky. A label on the reverse of the frame notes: ‘Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, T. L. 3682, H. L. Shattuck.’ The Bog at Evening is numbered 591 in S. B. Kennedy’s forthcoming catalogue of Paul Henry’s oeuvre.

| In 1910, at the age of thirty-four, Paul Henry went to Achill Island for a fortnight’s holiday. He was so captivated by the island’s landscape and people that he decided to settle there. “Achill spoke to me, it called me as no other place had ever done”, he wrote later in life. He went on “I wanted to live there, not as a visitor but to identify myself with its life and to see it every day in all its moods; in wind and rain, in storm, in summer and in winter, and by painting in all these conditions to find out, if I could, the driving force behind its attractiveness”. He was quite overwhelmed, he tells us, by the “wild beauty of the landscape, of the colour and variety of the cloud formations, one of the especial glories of the West of Ireland” (Henry, autobiography, An Irish Portrait, London, 1951, pp. 50-1). Having arrived by train at Achill Sound he travelled on by pony and cart to Dooega in the north of the island but, after an overnight there, he went on to Keel in the south-west where he settled on and off till mid-1919. Judged stylistically this composition must date from around 1916-19. The economy and precision of the brushwork are typical of Henry’s late Achill period and the ponderous treatment of the heavily massed rain clouds is similar to a number of other of his works of these years. The form of the signature, too, with a dot between the artist’s first and second names, also suggests a date of 1916-19. The setting shows Dooega Head in the distance and the majestic Minaun, or ‘Cathedral’, cliffs, with their distinctive profile, viewed from the road to the east of the village of Keel. The picture may conceivably be The Head, which Henry exhibited in his 1917 Dublin exhibition and which the Freeman's Journal (16 April 1917) described as “a notable piece of bravura landscape painting”, but of this one cannot be certain. Dooega Head, Achill Island is numbered 489 in S. B. Kennedy’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Paul Henry's oeuvre.

| Professor Kenneth McConkey has documentation on a closely related work showing the sitter in the same costume and pose, painted on the same occasion, which indicates that the model’s identity was Miss Flora Lion. Flora Lion (1876-1958) was a fellow artist who sat for Lavery on a number of occasions. Another portrait of her, dressed in Oriental costume, sold through these rooms on 28 November 2006, lot 94. When the present work appeared on the market in 2003 it was identified as a portrait of Arabella, Duchess of Marlborough, a title which caused some confusion as there has never been a Duchess of Marlborough by this name. However, the sister of the first Duke of Marlborough was Arabella Churchill (1648-1714), mistress to James II. It is now thought that the work depicts Flora Lions in the costume of Arabella. Professor McConkey has dated the work provisionally to 1916 on stylistic grounds, while further research is conducted. With thanks to Karen Wiseman, Education Officer at Blenheim Palace, and Kenneth McConkey for their help in cataloguing this work. |

| Roderic O’Conor’s career as an artist has been well documented. After studying in Dublin and Antwerp he left Ireland in 1886 to pursue his artistic career in France. He made an early visit to Brittany and chose to live and work there for thirteen years and it was in this period that he developed a close affiliation with the Pont-Aven circle of artists who were inspired by Paul Gauguin. In 1904 O’Conor returned to Paris and took up residence in the Montparnasse district of the city.
The choice of subject matter in this work is indicative of O’Conor’s change of environment from rural France and his preference for landscape themes, to the traditional subject matter associated with the artist’s studio. Still-life groups, portraits, bouquets of flowers and the female model became his preferred subjects after his return to Paris. In this particular work a slender female model reclines on a comfortable chaise longue which has a carved base with curvilinear forms in the style of Louis XV. The contrast between her pale translucent skin, the velvet fabric of the divan and the heavy red drapery in the background combine to give a sense of theatre to the work. It appears that she may have fallen asleep in the quiet environment of the studio with the artist working in silence as he concentrated on his painting.
The composition here is rather unusual for O’Conor who more frequently liked to pose his models to show their relationship to the larger interior space of the studio. In this painting the deliberate placing of the model in a pose parallel to the picture plane and against a draped background, minimizes the sense of spatial recession in the work so that our attention is directed very specifically to the reclining figure. The comparative neutrality of the environment in which she is placed adds to this reading of the painting. O’Conor must have been intrigued by the visual and pictorial possibilities of simplifying his composition in this way as he painted a second and very similar version of this arrangement in which the model is posed lying on her side with her back to the viewer. Several other traced and identified paintings of the same woman share a similar colour range and feature the same drapery, sometimes to create a background as is the case here, at other times to cover the chaise longue. The spontaneity of the brushwork in these related paintings would suggest that they were painted within a relatively short time frame, possibly on consecutive days and they may have been preliminary to this work.

He worked as an artist and a teacher before moving to London in 1770 and setting up a drawing academy in James’s Street. He was a regular contributor to the Royal Academy throughout the 1770s and was awarded a gold palette by the Society of Arts in 1774. In 1779 he returned to Ireland and was appointed temporary master in the Dublin Society’s School and was also employed in making drawings for antiquarian books such as Grose’s Antiquities of Ireland and Milton’s Seat and Demesnes of the Nobility and Gentry of Ireland. In 1795 he emigrated to America, settling in Philadelphia where he found employment as a book illustrator and engraver. He died there in 1815. |

| A similar view by the same artist sold through Adam’s, 29 March 2006, lot 129. Born in North Co. Antrim, McGoogan moved to Dublin in the 1880s and worked in the art department of the National Museum in Kildare Street. He was a regular exhibitor at the RHA and with the Dublin Sketching Club, showing mostly local Dublin landscapes and occasionally portraits. After the 1916 Rising he published a booklet of his own sketches and photographs, called After the Bombardment. He later also produced a print of the Burning of the Custom House, Dublin, in 1921. With his knowledge of Irish antiquities, McGoogan was chosen to design the Great Seal of Saorstat Éireann. He died at his home in Seapoint, Co. Dublin, in 1931 (see Snoddy, pp. 380-1). |

| Richard Graham (1876-1938) was the proprietor of a dance school at 35 North Great George’s Street in Dublin and is reputed to have first introduced the Charleston to Dublin. He also ran two cinemas: one in Capel Street, the other at Redmond’s Hill. In 1912 the Sinn Féin urged its readers to “support the only Picture House in Dublin owned by an Irishman”, whilst the British Bioscope magazine noted a year later that “on Sundays it is difficult to keep the crowd from bursting in oblivious of pay box and attendants, to see more quickly the good fare provided by the proprietor Mr R. H. Graham”. |

| Ciarán Lennon studied at NCAD between 1962 and ’67, graduating as an art teacher. He worked as a graphic artist for RTÉ before working as a teacher in both NCAD and at the Dun Laoghaire School of Art and Design. He has had numerous solo shows at the David Hendriks Gallery, the Project Arts Centre, the Belfast Arts Council Gallery and more recently at the Fenderesky Gallery in Belfast. In 1993 he represented Ireland at the São Paolo Biennal and three years later he had a joint exhibition with Michael Warren at the Galerie Lahumière in Paris. Intrigued by the concept of perception and sensory awareness, his work explores various physical properties by layering different materials combined with acrylic paint creating what he calls “lenses”. His work is held in many major collections including the Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane, IMMA and the Ulster Museum Belfast. |

| In Memories of an Irish Landscape Kevin Geary manages, in an abstract design, to evoke the landscape of Ireland. At the top he has conveyed in broad strokes the ever changing sky of Ireland from white cloud, blue sky, grey clouds and even the beginnings of enveloping mist. The greens, golden yellows and areas of white mist convey the hills and hedgerows of fields seen all over Ireland. But then, just over halfway down on the left we see a patch of red. Is this the burning embers of a fire? The red roof of a house, or the indelible blood of Irish patriots shed throughout Ireland’s tragic history? The red creates questions without an answer. Yet, the red is actually essential. It brings life to the painting, energising the whole, with its deft placement. In this, as in so many of his paintings, Geary displays both his compositional skill in abstract design, along with his consummate command of, and love for, colour.

| Painted at night in Sheridan’s New York studio. He later wrote of this period: “In contrast to the uproar of 21st Street by day, the Hopper stillness of New York by night was uncanny. The building opposite was in total darkness except for one floor that left its lights on all the time. How not to paint a Hopper was the problem (Matisse save us)” (On Reflection, page 31). In the original frame of the Dawson Gallery, Dublin. |
