Dillon travelled to Spain in the early 1950s and spent some weeks in Malaga. there is no doubt he would have been drawn to the charm of Spain by his good friend and fellow artist george campbell. Fishermen, farm workers etc resting after their labours was a favoured theme for Dillon.

gReeting tHe DAY
oil on board, 14" x 21" (35.5cm x 51cm), signed, inscribed verso.
provenance: the Dawson gallery, Dublin (inscribed label verso).
Belfast born o’neill produced a large volume of work from 1940 right up to his death in 1974. in 1945 he received encouragement and help from the Dublin Dealer, Victor Waddington, holding his first one person show with Waddington in 1946. He went on to exhibit extensively in both London, Amsterdam and further afield. His work is included in numerous civic collections.
this particular work most probably dates from the late 50s, early 60s and was exhibited at the Dawson gallery which Leo Smith ran after Victor waddington moved to London.
the noted art critic Brian Fallon wrote “His work is dreamy, rather withdrawn, full of brooding beauties, erotic reverie, figures in half-light”. (See Snoddy: Dictionary of Irish Artists p. 493). These sentiments capture the appeal of “Greeting the Day.”

8 tonY o’MalleY HrHa 1913-2003
ARtiSt’S RooM FeRRYBAnK, ARKLow, co.wicKLow
gouache, 11½" x 15¼" (29cm x 39 cm), signed.
provenance: Acquired by the present owner directly from the artist.
this studio interior dates from the early 1950s and is almost certainly the interior of the artist’s make-shift studio at Ferrybank in Arklow. o’Malley was then a bank official with the Munster and Leinster Bank and he was transferred there in 1953. At this time the artist had gone through a long period of convalescence having suffered from various lung problems.
Brian Fallon writes in tonY o’MALLeY: eDiteD BY BRiAn LYncH (p. 40) “the mid and late 1950s was a period of turmoil in o’Malley’s life, a period of fragile health and of strong tension between the artistic and banking careers and between his social and personal life” (p.42). In Ferrybank, Arklow, his landlady Mrs porter, with whom he stayed from 1953 to 1955, gave him a garden hut in which to work. this interior may well be that hut. For many critics these early works, which were moving towards abstraction, are highly significant in terms of the artist’s oeuvre.

In the 1980s Collins resided in a flat at 11 Hume Street. Baggot Street and the canal provided material for several works. in this simple, yet beautifully executed work collins shows off his skill as a draughtsman. the particular treatment of simple subject matter such as this bears similarities to Basil Blackshaw in both style and technique.

StAge Set
pen, 8" x 10¼" (20cm x 26cm), signed.
Jack B Yeats wrote and illustrated a number of children’s plays for the model (toy) theatre. Some were published by elkin Matthews namely “James Flaunty – Terror of the western Seas”, “Scourge of the Gulf”, and “Treasure of the Garden” (1901-1903).
However he also created and performed a number of other plays for children, whilst he was living in “Snails Castles” Strete in Devon, and this drawing is probably a set for one of these plays.

€10,000 - 15,000
These two charming works by Osborne have been in the Benson family collection for over fifty years. Though small in size, they show the artist at the height of his powers. Osborne became a portrait painter out of financial necessity; however his true love was on the spot (plein air) studies of irish landscape with all its various inhabitants. in Jeanne Sheehy’s wonderful book on osborne she quotes Osborne (p.48). “Landscapes were apparently not very profitable:- It was a grievance of his that pictures with sheep for their chief feature were difficult to sell, and pigs commercially quite impossible”.
Sheehy writes (p.25) “dating from around 1887 is a group of small landscapes in which the painter uses a technique of hatching with fairly broad brush strokes and a hard brush. they are sensitive renderings of corners of the country side and convey a rustic atmosphere without being either sentimental or anecdotal”.
Sheehy remarks how osborne adopted a looser style towards the end of his life with elegant free brush strokes; these two works are very fine examples from this period.

Jack Yeats visited Kerry in the Summer of 1913, partly with the object of learning irish, – and he painted a series of small landscapes of Kerry, all 9" x 14". (Pyle 43-64). – some of these being, “A Lane in Kerry”, “Iron Roofed Cottage in Kerry”, and “A Dusty Lane in Kerry”, and a number of paintings of Castlegregory and Mount Brandon. Lighting was a pre-occupation of Yeats in these Kerry Landscapes - pale colours beneath a grey or white sky creates the impression of a misty, damp (soft) day.

oil on canvas, 24" x 20" (61cm x 51cm), signed.
provenance: purchased at whytes, 21st September 2004 (lot 56), which detailed the following catalogue note:
the sitter in this portrait has been variously identified as ‘Red-Haired Kitty’, ‘Lily’, ‘Miss Y’, and ‘Mrs t. walker’. it seems likely that she is actually all of the above. A photograph exists in conor’s papers (now in the ulster Folk and transport Museum), that would appear to be the basis of the present portrait. it is squared up in preparation for transfer to a larger composition, and on the reverse is written: “To Billy with best love from Lily”. The same woman appears in a crayon drawing, in exact mirror image to the present work (see Young woman in Yellow Dress, catalogue no. 78 in the conor exhibition, children of ulster, held at the Mcclelland galleries, Belfast, in 1969, illustrated on p. 9 of the catalogue). Judith wilson traced two further portraits of the same sitter. The first known, simply titled Kitty, was exhibited at the Royal Society of portrait painters in London, 1930, and was illustrated on the front cover of Colour magazine (Vol. III, No. 2, December 1930). this work is now in the collection of the ulster Folk and transport Museum. A second portrait of the same woman, this time leaning against a table, was painted circa 1930, and reproduced in the Daily express, 10 December 1930, where it titled as Mrs t. walker. it was used to illustrate an article by R. Stephen Williams, for part of a series by him on “Beauty in Ulster”. conor was asked to select the representative beauties and paint their portraits, after which williams interviewed them. the portrait was later exhibited as Red-Haired Kitty at the Royal Academy in London, 1931, and was illustrated in the accompanying catalogue. the following year it appeared on the front of g.F.S. Magazine, along with a short ‘puff’ by journalist May Cunningham, eulogising the sitter’s “charming and racy” looks. Conor evidently liked the work too, for he showed it again, this time in Dublin at the 1936 RHA, where it was enigmatically titled “Miss Y” and illustrated in a review of the exhibition. the present work was presumably a favourite of the artist’s, as gallery owner nelson Bell recollects that it formerly hung over the fireplace in Conor’s dining room in his home on Salisbury Avenue, Belfast.

three cartoons for a 3-light stained glass window depicting symbols representing Noah’s ark, Abraham’s sacrifice, the Tablets of the Law, the Seven-branch Candlestick (LH); the Trinity, the Star of David, the Lamb, the five loaves and two fishes, a chalice and the Host (centre); and the Dove with tongues of fire, the Crown of Mary, the keys of St. Peter, and the barque of the Church (RH) in All Hallows’ church of england, wellingborough, northampton, warwickshire, england (1955).
128” x 30” each; gouache on paper; signed and dated 1955; inscribed ‘Mrs Bardon, for Miss Hone’ and ‘Welling-borough cartoons’.
these full-scale cartoons were designed by Hone preparatory to choosing and painting the glass she selected for the last window that she made before she died on March 13th, 1955. two years earlier, she had been weakened by a stroke, having been conferred that year with an honorary LL.D. by trinity college, Dublin for her contribution to the arts in ireland.
By then she had become well-known for her incorporation of symbols, sometimes semi-abstract, into the compositions of the fifty or so windows she had made during the previous twenty years. One of her earliest large windows, her prize-winning My Four Green Fields (12ft x 8 ft) made in Dublin for the 1939 irish pavilion of the new York world Fair, is composed of secular national symbols representing the four provinces of ireland. Symbolic crests are central to her three windows for Rockwell College in Co. Tipperary (1940), while her treatment of the five windows formerly in the university Hall in Lr. Hatch Street, Dublin (now in Francis xavier church, gardiner Street) is fundamentally symbolic and includes devices used in the wellingborough window. Here, these are woven into an abstract pattern in three tiers within a large rectangular framework, rising at the entre top. the window combines some of the details to be found in her fine 5-light Last Supper and Washing of the Feet window for St. Michael’s church, Highgate, London of 1954. particularly relevant is her Symbols of the Passion and of the Sacraments rose window, completed in 1952 for the Jesuit church in Farm Street, London, which incorporates no less than forty-one symbols, of whose knowledge she was particularly well versed.
Although she is best known for her 18-light eton college window (1947-52), which necessitated making an enormous 10.4 x 8.8 metre cartoon for its three sections, large commissions led her to break her overall design into a number of self-contained fragments, as can be seen here. Although her work was at its most intense when on a small scale, it is remarkable that she could overcome her impaired health, even at the very end of her life, to make a window on this scale.
Her friend, the artist Hilda van Stockum, described how when she was preparing a window, she would send off the first sketch to the people who had commissioned the window. When this was approved, she “would start on the actual size cartoon, which had to be hung on the trolley” which she would “hoist or lower”. Because she had been crippled by infantile polio, this “was hard on her as she had to stand… unless it was laid out [on] the long table, where she could reach it more easily… Once the cartoon was finished it was traced and cut along the lead lines” in the traditional way. “Each paper piece had to be matched with a piece of glass, and Tommy, the glazier, had to cut it into the exact space… Each bit was matched by a piece of glass, taken from the crates under the table” of the studio where she worked in the Dower House at Marlay grange, Rathfarnham. “when all the shapes were cut, emmie, evie’s housekeeper waxed them together. Later they would be put in lead, but that was irrevocable… once they had been waxed together and put in a frame they could be hung in a window contraption and be painted.”
