Eva Henrietta Hamilton
The eldest of the famous Hamilton sisters of Hamwood, Dunboyne, Eva was educated at Alexandra College, Dublin and began exhibiting at the age of 22 with the WCSI. In 1904 she showed two portraits of her sisters at the RHA, at which institute she was to eventually exhibit 121 works in total. Three years later her younger sister Letitia enrolled at the Metropolitan School of Art, possibly to distract herself from the miseries of a failed romance, and Eva joined too, almost immediately. www.whytes.ie There Eva was heavily influenced by Orpen, although the effect was lightened somewhat when she later went on to study under Henry Tonks at the Slade. Eva and Letitia travelled, painted and exhibited together most of their lives, with Evas work consisting mainly of landscapes and group portraits which predominantly feature family members. www.whytes.ie
