Antiques Roadshow find for sale in Dublin

A valuable painting discovered on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow is among over 170 works up for auction this week in Dublin in a sale expected to break all Irish records.

“Dooega Achill Island, Co Mayo” by Ulster artist Paul Henry depicts the rugged landscape of the island and has a guide price of between €60,000-80,000. The painting was in the current owner’s family since the 1920s and was only discovered when valued at the BBC Antiques Roadshow at Hughenden Manor, Buckinghamshire, in the summer.
