Ne'er before seen watercolour by Walter Frederick Osborne - 'Interior Scene with Figures' (24 x 33cm). Please get in touch if you have any information relating to this piece. Great addition to the ever-expanding catalogue raisonné! #walterosborne#irishart
We’re marking the approach of summer by sharing the painting ‘Summertime’ by Walter Frederick Osborne (1859 – 1903) 🌳
Osborne was an Irish impressionist and post-impressionist portrait and landscape artist 🎨
A number of these ‘sketches’ (a term Osborne himself used to describe them) have survived and are much sought after by collectors. The sketch after Dublin Streets: A Vendor of Books achieved a hammer price of €16,000 at Adams in 2012. This sketch is offered by deVeres.
This exquisite pen and ink drawing by Walter F Osborne depicts The Return of the Flock which he exhibited in 1885 at the Royal Institute of Painters in Oil Colours (ROI), to which he was elected member in 1890. It was executed after the fact, for the ROI’s Illustrated Catalogue.
Fitzgibbon Street off Mountjoy Square was once one of Dublin's few sloped Georgian streets, with houses stepped down the hill to NCR, similar to Belvedere Place. The houses were demolished and replaced c.1970 by Fitzgibbon Court - 54 flats in blocks set back from the street line.
It's terrific to see the leadership that @LimerickCouncil has provided in tackling dereliction. But projects should aspire to a better conservation standard. We should not be losing traditional sash windows, doors, chimneys and finishes. Irish towns are defined by these elements.
#HeritageAtRisk Charming but derelict mid-Victorian gate lodge at entrance to former Beech Park house (ruin), Ennis, Co Clare. It would not be prohibitively expensive to put this small building back into repair and use.

Two interesting pieces by Walter Frederick Osborne coming up @Adams1887 this evening. The landscape (lot 12) is entitled 'Lake in Connemara' - a pint 🍺 for anyone who can identify the specific location! #walterosborne#gearoidarthurhayes#connemara
Fascinating conversation between @Gordonwdarcy @nathanrjohns & Steve Aboud (who denied me a spot in the Irish Academy 😅) @IrishTimesSport@Federugby https://t.co/2oEl4SRTl6
