Evie Hone HRHA (1894-1955)MY FOUR GREEN FIELDS, NEW YORK - DESIGN FOR STAINED GLASS WINDOW, c.1937-1938gouachePortrait32.5 by 20.25in., 81.25 by 50.625cm.possibly exhibited at the WCSI, 1939, My Four Green Fields Sketch Design for Stained Glass Window, no. 76The stained-glass window, My Four Green Fields, dates from 1939 when it was commissioned by the Department of Industry and Commerce for the Irish Government`s Pavilion at the New York World Trade Fair. It was installed in the CIE Head Office, O`Connell Street in 1960 and later removed to storage by Abbeyglass in Kilmainham at the request of the OPW in 1983. During the renovation of Government Buildings in 1990 the window was taken out of storage, renovated and installed in its present location at the top of the foyer staircase. The carpet on the stairs was custom made by Mary Fitzgerald to complement the colours of Hone`s designs. Examples of designs for My Four Green Fields (lent by Mr & Mrs F.H. Boland, no. 94) as well as the finished window (lent by the Commissioners of the Board of Works (no. 70) were shown at the artist`s retrospective exhibition, `Evie Hone 1894-1955`, Great Hall, University College Dublin, 29 July - 5 September 1958. Another design, Saints and Scholars with St. Colmcille, 1938 was shown at the IELA in 1955 and later lent to the 1958 exhibition by Dr Eileen MacCarvill. In reference to My Four Green Fields, in the exhibition catalogue to the 1958 show, James White, former Director of the National Gallery of Ireland commented:The My Four Green Fields [window] shown in the New York World`s Fair must rank amongst the most important [in the artist`s oeuvre] , but it is notable that a feeling of new assurance centred in the features and disposition of the figures. It was almost as if the curvaceous and rounded line of the Byzantine world were added to the Northern, Gothic style which the artist seemed to possess in common with the medieval craftsmen of Chartres and Poitiers."

William John Leech RHA ROI (1881-1968)THE LAKE, REGENT`S PARK, LONDONoil on canvassigned lower left; with inscribed Dawson Gallery label on reverseLandscaPortraite20 by 24in., 50 by 60cm.Purchased by the present owner`s mother from Leo Smith, Dawson Gallery, Dublin;Thence by descentDenson, Alan, W. J. Leech RHA (1881-1968) Vol. 2 His Life Work, A Catalogue (Part I), Kendal, 1969, catalogue no. 48 (Sketch for The Lake, Regent`s Park, London)Leo Smith... the man to whom Mr. Leech bequeathed the majority of his pictures in the confident and well-founded belief the Mr Smith would ensure their wise distribution and preservation for prosperity. " p.114 (Denson)Leo Smith met the artist first in 1944 and he became his advocate and sole agent, showing his work from this period and hosting solo exhibitions in 1945, 1947and 1951. After 1916 Leech settled first in London and later the south of England. Royal Academy records his address in 1934 as 4 Steele`s Studios, Haverstock Hill, London, NW3 and it is from this address that the present work was executed. The subject of Regent`s Park is recorded variously by Leech biographers and other examples include, In Regent`s Park in 1960 by Thomas Haverty Trust to the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin. York Bridge, Regent`s Park, London and The Bridge, Regent`s Park, London shown with the RHA, 1935, no. 4 [£5-0-0]. The park, a short walk from his studio, was a place of solace for Leech. There he could retreat from the rapidly changing capital. The light palette and buttery impasto recalls the foreground of the artist`s masterpiece Convent Garden, Brittany (NGI, Dublin) but instead of breaking the dizzying trance of brushstrokes with a figure or lake boat, here the artist submerges the viewer into a thick web of colour and paint to be consumed by the power of this urban sanctuary. The impression left by Paris and later Brittany can still be felt in this English subject. The handling of the paint, treatment of light - the reflections on the water - and the sense of a fleeting moment passing are all captured here in this en plein air oil. Leech would later escape the urban jungle entirely to a cottage in West Clandon, near Guildford, Surrey with second wife May Bottrell circa 1940. The present work has been in the same family since it was wisely purchased from their family friend, Leo Smith, Director of the Dawson Gallery, after the artist`s death."

G/VG Sold with a first edition 1937 copy of the `The Saturday Match` with original dustwrapper showing the published artwork. Hugh De Selincourt (1878-1951) was an English author and journalist who worked as a journalist, for the Star and the Observer until 1914, and is chiefly remembered today for his timeless tale of village cricket, `The Cricket Match` published in 1924, which stands alongside A. G. Macdonell`s `England, Their England` as one of the classic accounts of village cricket in English literature. The fictional village of Tillingfold was a recurring element in De Selincourt`s work, and was based on his own village of Storrington at the foot of the South Downs. ‘The Saturday Match’ (1937) and ‘Gauvinier Takes to Bowls’ (1948) were among de Selincourt`s final books before his death in 1951 James Henry Thorpe (1876-1949) was a founder member of the London Sketch Club, where he numbered fellow cricket enthusiast Frank Reynolds among his numerous circle. Besides working as an illustrator on several books, many cricket related, and magazines including `Punch` he also wrote on contemporary art, and published an instructional cricket book `A Cricket Bag` in 1929 and an autobiography `Happy Days` in 1933.
