William Orpen, RA, RI, RHA (1878-1931) "Portrait of James Hugh Smith-Barry, after Swinton (1904)," O.O.C., 61.1 x 46cm (24" x 18"). (1) From Anglo-Norman times onwards, the Barry family were prominent in county Cork and further afield. Closely associated with Barryscourt Castle and Fota estate, through the Elizabethan and Tudor periods, and the turbulent seventeenth century, the family survived many vicissitudes. However, in 1823, with the death of the 8th Earl of Barrymore, the title became extinct. It was revived in 1902, when Arthur Hugh Smith-Barry (1843-1925) was created Baron Barrymore and took his seat in the House of Lords. Anxious to affirm his position in society, Arthur Hugh commissioned Sir William Orpen to paint a posthumous portrait of his father, James Hugh Smith Barry (1816-56). The painting was to be hung at Fota House, surrounded by portraits of Barry ancestors. It was to be based on a chalk pastel sketch made in 1854 by James Rannie Swinton (1816-1888), a Scottish portraitist whose sitters included the Countess of Dufferin and other wealthy patrons. The resulting portrait is a testament to Orpen?s skill as an artist. Although based on Swinton?s pastel sketch, it is spirited and full of vitality, the paint applied with the artist?s customary verve. On 20th December 1904, Orpen wrote to Baron Barrymore from Forthampton Court, Tewkesbury, informing him that he had sent the portrait to him, and trusting it was ?to your liking?. On 28th December, Orpen wrote again, from 13 Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea, thanking Barrymore for a cheque for eighty four pounds and ten shillings. He mentioned how he had completed the portrait, working from photographs. Barrymore was so pleased with the portrait he asked some years later if he could have a copy made. Orpen delegated this task to his assistant, the young artist Sean Keating from Limerick. The original by Orpen was hung at Fota House in Cork, while the copy, by Keating, hung in the study at Marbury in Cheshire. Barrymore was also keen to have his own portrait painted by Orpen, who, in an undated letter to the Baron, outlined his prices. A head and shoulders was five hundred pounds, half-length was seven hundred while a full length portrait would set Barrymore back a thousand pounds. ?Of course I should like to try and paint you very much ? but it would have to be done here in London, as I will not be able to leave here this summer or autumn.? wrote Orpen. On 7th February, he wrote again, from 8 South Bolton Gardens, thanking Barrymore for a cheque for five hundred pounds which had arrived safely. Orpen had enjoyed painting the portrait: ?it gave me great pleasure doing it, as it is always nice being with nice people, and strange as it may seem people who get painted very often are far from it! and treat one as a business proposition!!? Together with a collection of letters from Sir William Orpen to Lord Barrymore relating to the work. Dr. Peter Murray, 2022

Chinese porcelain vase, belonging to the Rose Family. Late 19th century.Measurements: 62 cm x 25 cm (diameter).Large Chinese porcelain vase decorated with enamelled cartouches depicting genre scenes in which courtly characters appear on terraces and pagodas set in leafy landscapes. These scenes are outlined and completed with floral and vegetal decoration that covers the rest of the body of the vase, contrasting with the base of the lower part in shades of pink, red and aquamarine-blue. The pictorial decoration is completed by a series of zoomorphic reliefs in the form of tigers and dragons on the neck of the vase. The Rose Family is characterised by the predominance of light, luminous tones, especially pink and green. During the second half of the 19th century, thanks to the discovery of white glaze, Chinese potters broadened their palette to include new shades, which allowed them to enrich their wares with greater chromatic splendour, achieving a higher quality of plastic representation.The Rose Family style originated at the end of the Kagnxi period, an emperor of the Qing dynasty who reigned from 1662 to 1722. The new ornamental style is based on the introduction of new enamels, the most famous of which is pink, after which the style is named. Other new colours were also added, such as opaque yellow, white and the now independent black (until then, in order to fix the black glaze, it had to be covered with a glaze of another colour, usually translucent green). Technically, the most important is opaque white, as it could be mixed with other glazes to achieve a wide range of pastel shades, as well as allowing a smooth tonal gradation that made it possible to successfully imitate Western painting. What defines the Rose Family, therefore, is not the predominance of this colour, but this new polychrome. The new style led to the abandonment of the previously predominant Green Family, characterised by the abundance of this colour and the use of more watery glazes.
