Norah McGuinness HRHA (1901-1980) BARLEY MOON oil on canvas signed lower right; with original label on reverse 76.2 by 127cm., 30 by 50in. L "Dawson Gallery, Dublin; Whence purchased by the first owner; Adam`s & Bonhams, Dublin, 30 May 2007; Private collection" `Norah McGuinness Exhibition`, Dawson Gallery, Dublin, 1964, catalogue no. 14 In the original frame of the Dawson Gallery, Dublin.This dark impressive landscape was exhibited at the Dawson Gallery, Dublin in 1964 during which time McGuinness had returned to live in Ireland. Having been formally trained at the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin, the Chelsea Polytechnic, London, and on Mainie Jellett’s advice, under André l’Hôte in Paris, McGuinness, who was originally from Derry, proved to be a rounded, well travelled and informed artist at this point in her career. The present work, which is likely to have been executed from her cottage studio in the Dublin Mountains where she was living from 1957, shows the artist at her most confident. Her brushwork, while loose and fluid, retains control of technique with its precise application. The tone of Barley Moon is romantic both in title and subject matter. A full September moon dominates the sky and filters into the body of the work before resting in a pool of creamy luminosity in the foreground of the canvas. There is a sense of theatricality to this autumnal moonlight - an element to the work that perhaps resonates her time spent in the theatre world, in The Abbey, Dublin in the mid-twenties and later in the Westminster Theatre in London in the mid-thirties. The spotlight however in this case is focused on Barley Moon’s poetic lunar activity; the overall effect is sensual, mysterious and distinctly feminine.

Lady Blanche Lindsay (née Fitzroy) (c.1844-1912) PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG GIRL oil on board with faintly inscribed label on reverse detailing artist`s name, address [41 Hans P., Chelsea] and price [ten?] 10.16 by 10.16cm., 4 by 4in. L "Caroline Blanche Elizabeth (née FitzRoy), Lady Lindsay daughter of Hon. Henry Fitzroy (the son of Lord Southhampton) and Hannah Mayer de Rothschild was an amateur painter, poetess, musician and wife of Sir Coutts Lindsay whom she married in1864. Together they founded the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877 which was heralded at the time as a favourable alternative to the Royal Academy and a chief artistic and social venue for second-generation pre-Raphaelites among other artists of the day. Although only thirteen years in operation the Lindsays` innovations in terms of their exhibition practices had far reaching effects. The couple later separated but Lady Lindsay continued to play a vital role in the arts community, hosting gatherings which included Mary Shelley, Browning, Eliot and Tennyson among others at her home in 41 Hans Place, Chelsea.A portrait miniature of Lady Lindsay was painted by Dickens` daughter Kate Perugini (see lot 43).
