Henry, Le Brocquy, Yeats, Maclise and more at Whyte’s auction

Des O’Sullivan previews an Irish and international art auction with an embarrassment of riches.

A Co Donegal landscape by Paul Henry, two le Brocquy tapestries, a horse painting by Yeats, and a selection of works by Tony O’Malley with estimates from €1,000 to €15,000, combine to make an interesting and varied selection at Whyte’s Irish and International art auction at the RDS on February 27.

The sale features work by many important artists of the last two centuries including William Sadler, Walter Osborne, Sir John Lavery, James Humbert Craig, Sean Keating, Gerard Dillon, Colin Middleton, William Scott, Alexander Williams, Daniel Maclise and Percy French.
