About the Item
Oil on canvas of the Roscommon Dragoon after Sir William Orpen “The Roscommon Dragoon” after Sir William Orpen, oil on canvas, circa 1918.
Sir William Orpen was one of the premiere British and Irish Artists of the early and mid-20th century and is regarded as a British Master.
This is one of Orpen's most popular and sought after paintings and subjects. It depicts Mrs. Vera Hone in a Red Dragoon uniform. The painting became known as the Roscommon Dragoon (After the County in Ireland called County Roscommon where Orpen spent some considerable time). Vera Hone (nee Brewster) was Orpen’s all time favorite model. She was an American beauty and moved to the UK where she and her husband lived next door to the Orpen’s for about a year. Orpen was a little besotted with Vera, as were many other artists, referring to her as the "Lovely Vera". She modeled for so many paintings that Orpen began to use a numbering system rather than keep on inventing titles for his pictures of her.
This is most likely, a Gallery copy, the back of painting has stickers confirming that it was exhibited at the Ballyrickard Irish Art Gallery in Ireland.
Orpen's original works are exhibited in all major Galleries and have sold for Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars.
One recently unearthed original painting by Orpen. The Refugee" was valued by the British Antiques Roadshow at circa $500,000 (250,000 GB Pounds).
Signed on back (not authenticated).
If this was an original it would be 'worth a fortune', but as we cannot authenticate it, we are selling it as 'After" or 'In the Style of' Sir William Orpen.
If it is indeed, a Studio or Gallery copy then it is an exceptional one.

- Oil on Canvas "the Prohibited Reading" After Karel OomsLocated in Los Angeles, CAA Large Continental Oil on Canvas "The Prohibited Reading " after Karel Ooms (Belgium, 1845-1900).

One of his teachers at the Academy was Nicaise de Keyser, one of the key figures in the Belgian Romantic-historical school of painting and a painter of mainly history paintings and portraits.
