Beatrice Glenavy (1883-1970) Roses, oils on canvas c. 1952, Signed with monogram lower left ‘BG’, 36cms x 25.5cms (14” x 10”) Inscribed on verso ‘Roses £10 Lady Glenavy RHA, Rockbrook House, Rathfarnham’ Set on a folded cloth, with beach and sea in the background, stands a vase containing a bouquet of roses. Cast perhaps in porcelain, or carved in stone, the monochrome vase is shaped like a hand holding a large bud, the base in the form of a wrist with lace cuff, encircled by a bracelet. As well as pink roses, the bouquet also contains green ferns. It is a classic Glenavy still-life, one that combines realistic elements with more ambiguous, even surreal, elements. A painter fond of introducing such touches of the surreal into her landscapes and still-life paintings, Beatrice Glenavy (neé Elvery) was also a sculptor, stained-glass artist, theatre set painter, and illustrator of childrens’ books. Enrolling as a student at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin in 1896, she initially studied under the sculptor John Hughes, and later under the painter William Orpen. A gifted artist, Glenavy won three Taylor Scholarships, enabling her to travel to Paris, where she attended Colarossi’s studio. In 1903 she joined An Túr Gloine (Tower of Glass) and made windows for the Convent of Mercy in Enniskillen. Her allegorical portrait of Maud Gonne, Eire, was presented by Gonne to St. Enda’s, the Irish-speaking school set up by Patrick Pearse. In 1910, Glenavy moved to London, enrolling at the Slade School of Art. Two years later she married the barrister Charles Campbell (later 2nd Baron Glenavy), and devoted much of her life thereafter to raising three children, one of whom, Patrick Campbell, became a celebrated writer and broadcaster. An active member of the RHA (she was elected an associate member in 1932, and a full member two years later) Glenavy showed over two hundred works at the Academy. This painting may be the work entitled Pink Roses, exhibited at the RHA in 1952. Glenavy died in Dublin in 1970.

Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957) The Ballad Singers’ Children 1903 watercolour on board, 25.4cms x 35.5 cm (10” x 14”), Signed lower right ‘Jack B. Yeats’ Exhibited: Central Hall, Dublin 1902 “Sketches of Life in the West of the Ireland” Walker Art Gallery 1903 “Sketches in the West of Ireland” (Cat. No. 17) Literature: Hilary Pyle. Jack B. Yeats: His Watercolours Drawings and Pastels (Irish Academic Press, Dublin 1993) No. 403, p. 114 Provenance: Collection of John Quinn, New York, 1903 In this poignant watercolour, Yeats depicts the children of an itinerant ballad singer who have been left to fend for themselves in a tent, while their parent, a ballad singer, is off at a nearby race meeting, trying to make a meagre living. Seated within the ‘bender’, or simple shelter made of a tarpaulin sheets stretched over branches, the three children shelter from wind and rain. The eldest, a barefoot girl, looks out into the torrential downpour, dark-eyed and fearful. Behind is a dry-stone wall, and in the distance, can be seen the tents of the race meeting in progress. Above are rain-filled clouds. Yeats conveys the impression of heavy rain by streaking the watercolour, using white highlights to emphasise raindrops spilling from the edge of the tent. Born in Fitzroy Park, London in 1857, and fostered by his Sligo grandparents during six years of his childhood, from an early age Jack Yeats became a talented ‘jack of all trades’, producing watercolours, illustrations, plays for miniature theatre and ballads for broadsheets. Into these works he often introduced the figure of an “outsider", a person spurned by respectable society. These figures appear sometimes as pirates, and often as ballad singers plying their trade in village streets, or in circuses and theatres. Sometimes the singers are alone, sometimes they are surrounded by an admiring audience. Yeats often used the titles of ballads as titles for his painting. Although Yeats’s paintings are invested with a magical quality, a mixture of whimsy, drama, romance, song and poetry, there is always an underlying focus on the joys and tragedies of everyday life, and a commentary on society, and occasionally politics. He saw in the world of fairgrounds, in competitions of strength, in ballad singers and horse racing, a living echo of ancient times in Ireland. His paintings and writings are patriotic, and clearly express a deep love for his native land: Yeats attended Sinn Fein meetings and learned the Irish language. In 1920 he closed an exhibition of his work in Dublin as a gesture in support of political prisoners. His sympathy with the poor and oppressed is evident in this fine watercolour, a work which has a significant provenance, as it was acquired around 1903 by his patron, the New York lawyer John Quinn.
