48 Richard Thomas Moynan RHA 1850-1906 A MUTED APPEAL (THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL) Oil on canvas, 36" x 28" (91.5 x 71cm), signed & dated 1895, with inscribed artists label verso.

Exhibited: The RHA, Dublin 1895 (No.37); Irish International Exhibition, Dublin 1907 (No. 143).

rovenance: Ex Collection of Wentworth Allen; P Private Collection, Dublin.

A girl sits in an elaborate Georgian doorway, very possibly Nearys Pub, with a box of matches in her hand. She is well wrapped up against the cold in a long brown dress and jacket with a green shawl draped around her shoulders. Her feet are shod in battered boots. A shaft of sunlight falls just beyond the young figure, illuminating the left hand side of her face, which has a worried expression. The child is perhaps eleven or twelve but her strained appearance suggests responsibilities that have aged her beyond her years. The model for this painting was indeed a street vendor, a flower seller who worked principally in Chatham Street, off Grafton Street. She featured in two other genre pieces painted by Moynan in the same year.

Richard Thomas Moynan RHA was an important figure in the Dublin art world. He was a regular contributor to the RHA from the early 1880’s to his death in 1906. This picture was painted in the artist’s studio in Harold’s Cross in 1895, and exhibited in the RHA in March of the same year. The original label, penned by the artist, is still attached to the stretcher with details of his address and a price tag of £50, which reflects the exceptionally high prices that Moynan’s work commanded. The strong use of chiaroscuro, the effects of light and shade, and the fine figure drawing demonstrates the academic training that Moynan received in Dublin, Antwerp and Paris. His sojourn in Antwerp was particularly successful as he was the first Irishman to win the annual concours in 1884, an international competition with over one hundred participants. This prestigious prize entitled Moynan to individual tuition from the head of the Royal Academy in Antwerp, Karel Varlet, and use of a private studio. It also meant that he was a senior student the Academy when the Dutchman, Vincent Van Gogh, studied there.

learly a doting father, Moynan painted many pictures of his daughter, Eileen Nora and his son, Richard, C but the extensive charitable work he conducted at the Freemason’s Schools serves to demonstrate his interest in children and his highly empathetic nature. Indeed, the artist’s obituary states that his favourite subject was child life in the slums (The London Times, Wednesday 11th April 1906). But he also painted many children engaged in a variety of activities, for example the National Gallery of Ireland’s much loved work, Military Manoeuvers (1891) shows a group of young ragamuffins acting as a pretend military band.

The artist’s career came to an untimely conclusion in 1906 after a long battle with tuberculosis. His brother-in-law, and friend, Wentworth Allen, acquired many of his paintings and displayed them at his home in Shanganagh Castle, a suitable venue as the building contained a top-lit gallery specifically designed to exhibit art. In the year after Moynan’s death, Wentworth Allen, lent A Mute Appeal, to the Irish International Exhibition which was held in Dublin. This painting was highly prized by the artist’s family and remained in their possession for over seventy years.

49 Gerard Dillon 1916-1971 A WET DAY Oil on board, 15" x 20 ½" (38 x 52cm), signed.

E xhibited: Ohio, Toledo Museum of Art, exhibition untraced San Francisco, San Francisco Museum of Art, New Irish Painters, 1950 (where lent by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Massachusetts).

Provenance: Sold Adams, Dublin, 5th December 2006 (lot 64); 29th May 2013 (lot 86); Private Collection, Dublin.

I n the late 1940’s Gerard Dillon entered into a stipend arrangement with Victor Waddington, which allowed him to spend more time in Connemara. Recognising the broad appeal of Dillon’s narrative images, Waddington encouraged the artist to return to Connemara in preparation for his first solo exhibition with him in November 1950.

illon rented a cottage in Moyard located between Clifden and Letterfrack, visiting the surrounding area recording local D events of pony races, tinkers and religious processions or depicting the local people in their cottages and carrying out their daily chores of thatching, harvesting, cutting and collecting turf.

Born in Belfast, Dillon admired both William Conor for his portrayal of working class people in Belfast and Seán Keating’s illustrations of J.M. Synge’s Playboy of The Western World. Both artists recorded and highlighted the harshness of people’s lives in an urban environment and in the West of Ireland. It is hardly surprising, therefore when Dillon first visited the west on a cycling trip in 1939 that he should have responded to the people and the landscape as he did. He was immediately enthralled by the landscape of misty hills, spongy bogs, lakes, streams, and a patchwork design of tiny plots protected by ancient dry stonewalls over carpets of stony land. Living among the people on these frequent visits evoked strong feelings for the artist, which he expressed throughout his life. Following his exhibition at Waddington’s, one reviewer commented, “In his paintings of the people of Connemara, Gerard Dillon is deliberately, but not self-consciously naïve and such canvasses ‘have a simple, kindly humour’.”

A Wet Day, Ireland, was executed on one of these visits to Connemara when he invited friends, George Campbell, Arthur Armstrong, Nano Reid, and Mollie Dillon to stay with him. In August 1950 Dillon invited other friends he met at the Abbey Arts Centre outside London. The visitors Bernard Smith, Leonard French and Arthur Rose were Australians belonging to the London artists’ colony, which served as a temporary home for a range of artists trying to get a foothold in London’s contemporary art industry.

The composition depicts a mother protecting her bare footed children with a homespun shawl from rain as they walk on a bog road close to ponies. The dyed red wide skirt, the dark cloak, mountains, blanket bogs and grey and brown ponies point to Connemara. During the turf-cutting season, woman and children helped to spread out the turf after the men had cut the sods and thrown them up onto the heather to dry. With no shelter on the bog roads, woman and children would have often got caught in showers of rain. Woman would have worn the generous shawl or cóta to keep warm from the prevailing winds and its oiled wool would have acted as a barrier from the rain.

After Bernard Smith departed Moyard, Dillon wrote to him describing the success of his sketching trips with Leonard French due to good weather but was unable to get out when Arthur Rose stayed, “It pissed the whole time, so he must think Connemara is hell”. Dillon also gave a description of a pony show in Clifden remarking on the ponies, “such unusual colours – smoky grey as you get out of a chimney – the oaken meal colour, it was wonderful”.

Definitions In these Conditions, de Veres Art Auctions, who act as auctioneers and agents for the vendor, are called ‘the auctioneers’ (which expression shall be deemed to include their servants and agents) and the representative of de Veres conducting the auction is called ‘The Auctioneer’.

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. (d) Lots marked with † are those which deVeres hold a financial interest in.

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. (b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute had arisen.
