"The Legend of Grainne Uaile"ÿ 18th Century Irish School An Allegorical Relief,ÿdepicting the taking of Lord Howth's grandson, heir of the Castle, as an Infant by Grace O'Malley (Grainne Uaile) at Howth Castle, the child wrapped in a blanket being handed over to fellow pirates, with mast ships waiting in the bay, showing the Castle and Ireland's Eye in the distance, in a blackened carved oak frame showing armorial crests and motto, flanked either side by sealion and mermaid, and coronet above a shield with cross swords and rogue approx. 34" high x 62" wide (87cms x 158cms) overall. (1) Note:ÿ This bas-relief sculpture provides a record of one of the best-known legends associated with the St. Lawrence family of Howth. Set in an elaborately carved wooden frame, with swags, the St. Lawrence family coat of arms of four roses, and their motto ?Que Panse? [What think you?]. On the sides of the frame are allegorical figures that also appear on the family coat of arms, a mermaid with a mirror, and an allegorical figure of a sea lion. The date of 1740 is tentative, and the sculpture and frame may date to the seventeenth century. According to the legend, one almost certainly based, at least in part, on real events, in 1575 Grace O?Malley?Graina Uaile, or Gr inne N¡ Mh ille?was returning to Ireland from London, where she had been involved with negotiations with Queen Elizabeth. Landing at Howth, she called at the St. Lawrence household, but found the gates closed and was told it was dinner hour. Insulted at this lack of hospitality, O?Malley returned to her ship, but en route encountered a child, one of the St. Lawrence family. Kidnapping the child, she proceeded on to her home in Co. Mayo, in the West of Ireland. Protracted negotiations ensued between the two families, until agreement was reached and the child was returned to Howth. However, one of the conditions of return was that the gates of Howth should never again be shut at dinner-time and a place should always be laid at the table for any unexpected guest that might arrive. The relief sculpture depicts the main events of the legend, with figures on the shore at Howth raising their arms in alarm at the kidnapping, the child being borne to the seashore, where a rowing boat approaches, and O?Malley standing proudly on a rock, directing operations. In the background is visible the town of Howth, and the island of Ireland?s Eye.

Attributed to John Lewis (fl 1745-60) Portrait of William St. Lawrence, son of William, 14th Baron Howth c 1640, approx. 48" x 36" (122cms x 92cms), in later painted and parcel gilt frame. (1) Note: Dressed as befits a young Anglo-Irish gentleman, in crimson suit, lace collar, and blue velvet coat with gold trimmings, William St. Lawrence stands beside a table, assuming an elegant pose and paying little heed to the spaniel that dances at his feet. Behind a heavy curtain, a landscape can be glimpsed. There are several books on the table, which is also draped in red cloth, the folds of which contrast with the black and white tiled floor. The portrait is remarkable in that while the artist has portrayed William as a young adult, in fact he was around ten years old?the table top is at the same level as the boy?s shoulder. Born sometime around 1732, William was given the same name as his father, William St. Lawrence, 14th Baron Howth. Although William?s mother, Lucy Gorges, was twenty years younger than her husband, they were happily married and had three children; a daughter named Mary, and two sons, Thomas (who became 1st Earl of Howth), and William, the sitter in this portrait. The St. Lawrences were friends of Jonathan Swift, who was a frequent visitor to Howth Castle and also to Kilfane, their country house in Co. Kilkenny, where William Snr indulged his passion for horses and hunting. In his poem On Rover, A Lady?s Spaniel, written a decade or so earlier, Swift had described the physical features of a toy spaniel and given advice to aspiring artists: Happiest of the spaniel race, Painter, with thy colours grace: Draw his forehead large and high, Draw his blue and humid eye; Draw his neck so smooth and round, Little neck with ribbons bound! And the muscly swelling breast, Where the Loves and Graces rest; And the spreading even back, Soft, and sleek, and glossy black; And the tail that gently twines, Like the tendrils of the vines; And the silky twisted hair, Shadowing thick the velvet ear; Velvet ears, which, hanging low, O'er the veiny temples flow. Swift?s poem is a parody of namby pamby verses written by Ambrose Phillips, in honour of Georgiana Cartaret, daughter of the Lord Lieutenant. An admirer of Swift?s, Lord Cartaret no doubt secretly delighted in the Dean?s parody. The attribution of this painting to the Dublin artist John Lewis, in Toby Bernard?s "Making the Grand Figure: Lives and Possessionsÿin Ireland 1641-1770", is convincing. Although not well-known as a portrait painter, Lewis was at the centre of Dublin?s theatre and cultural life in the mid eighteenth century, when he worked as a scene painter at the Smock Alley Theatre. He painted portraits of actor Peg Woffington, and dramatist Henry Brooke. While on a visit to Quilca House in Co. Cavan with Thomas Sheridan, he painted mural decorations, with images of Milton, Shakespeare and Jonathan Swift. He may have painted the portrait of William St. Lawrence after the boy?s untimely death. Although destined for a life as a professional soldier, and appointed an ensign in the army while still just fourteen years old, William?s military career was shortlived. While still a teenager, in April 1749, he died of smallpox. Dr.ÿPeterÿMurrayÿ2021
