Clare Galwey
The second work measures 12 by 21 inches. Anna Maria Clare Zuline Galwey, known as Clare Galwey, was the second daughter of Lt.-Gen. Sir Michael Galwey, Colonel of the Madras Fusiliers, and Anna Maria Ross. After her father’s death in 1878, Clare and her sisters Blanche and Delphine (known collectively to their friends as ‘the Three Graces’) returned from France to Ireland and settled in Osborne House, Monkstown. Clare joined the Dublin Sketching Club in 1887 and exhibited with them for the next twenty years, as well as with the WCSI and the RHA. Included with this lot is Clare Galwey’s original passport of 1885, signed by both herself and Lord Salisbury, Secretary of State. www.whytes.ie
