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.

Thrilled to get my mitts on another of Walter Frederick Osborne's books. Special thanks to George Mealy of @FonsieMealy @FonsieMealy1 Auctioneers for his assistance in securing it. #bastienlepage #walterosborne #irishart #gearoidarthurhayes #gearoidhayes

What a pleasure it was to welcome the artists from both the AIB Portrait Prize and AIB Young Portrait Prize exhibitions to the Gallery yesterday for the award ceremonies! It's honestly one of our favourite days in our calendar.

Don't miss seeing the exhibitions, until 9 March.

[Gearóid Arthur Hayes @ArthurGearoid]

Heartfelt thanks to the incredible staff at the National Gallery of Ireland @NGIreland for making us feel so welcome during the AIB Portrait Prize events. They made those of us who felt somewhat like imposters occupying its hallowed walls as though we might belong. 🙏

[Gearóid Arthur Hayes @ArthurGearoid]

Great post from Dr Hannah J Baker,. the foremost authority on Sarah Cecilia Harrison.

[Gearóid Arthur Hayes @ArthurGearoid]

Orpen was arguably the star of Christie's sale of the Mary & Alan Hobart Collection. Something to behold watching 'The Thinker on the Butte de Warlencourt' (1918) make £600000 🔨 realising a price of £756000 ✨ All in all a great day for Irish Art #williamorpen #irishart

[Hannah Baker @Hannah_JBaker]

Which is which @ArthurGearoid ?? So good 🤩

[Gearóid Arthur Hayes @ArthurGearoid]

My copy after @SirWilliamOrpen 'Lieutenant Egerton M Letts'. Only had two days with this at the Gorry Gallery before it went to auction @deVeresAuctions Fortunately, I had access to Orpen's palette which helped with pigment matching. #orpen #gearoidhayes #gearoidarthurhayes

[Gearóid Arthur Hayes @ArthurGearoid]

Hugely significant portrait of Sir Hugh Lane by his close friend and lieutenant Sarah Cecilia Harrison. Given his bequest of modern French pictures including some Impressionist masterpieces it would be a fitting addition to @NationalGallery collection. Offered for sale by Adams.

[Hannah Baker @Hannah_JBaker]

These two portraits are being offered for sale at Adams Auctioneers next month. They came from the Harrison estate after she died and sold through the esteemed Gorry Gallery.

[Hannah Baker @Hannah_JBaker]

Sarah Cecilia Harrison was a cultural and political trailblazer. She founded a number of successful projects aimed at combating unemployment in Dublin. In 1912, as soon as women were able to stand for election as councillors, she successfully won a seat on Dublin City Council.

[Hannah Baker @Hannah_JBaker]

Alongside her effectual political career, Harrison also worked as a portrait painter. Her many commissions included Dublin and London based cultural and political pioneers - this portrait of Hugh Lane being one example, in fact she painted three portraits of Lane over her career.
