Jane Short Antiques has dated these Antique Irish Watercolour Paintings to the 19th Century.
This pair of watercolours shows men in a tavern and pays particular attention to their faces.
Very skilfully executed and full of Irish humour. Signed and dated 1838 and 1840.
R.R. Scanlan''s works have become very collectable and sadly hard to come by.
There are signs of yellowing commensurate with age, however, the paintings themselves are in good condition.
The actual watercolours measure 21cm X 27cm. Framed they measure 41cm x 46cm
BIOGRAPHY.
Robert Richard Scanlan (1801–1876), sometimes known as R. R. Scanlan, was an Irish painter and portraitist.
A resident of Dublin in the 1820s, he exhibited portraits at the Royal Hibernian Academy (1826–1864), and was later Master of the Cork School of Design.[1] He painted portraits and watercolour portrait groups, described by Professor Anne Crookshank of Trinity College Dublin as charmingly evocative of the leisured society of Victorian Ireland.[2] He spent his later life in London and exhibited at the Royal Academy (1837–1859).
Two of his best known works were portraits of Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel and The Duke of Wellington.
