A rare example of an Irish scene by renowned Scottish artist Anne Redpath comes up at Bonhams in Edinburgh on May 13. Dun Laoghaire Harbour was painted in the late 1940’s after a visit to Ireland in 1947. Although the label on the back of this painting just provides a title of The Harbour – Dublin, it was always known in the family as Dunlaoghaire Harbour and has not been seen in public since 1958. Redpath is listed as exhibiting a painting with the title Dunlaoghaire Harbour in London, with the Society of Scottish Artists in 1947 and again at the Royal Academy in 1949. It comes up at The Scottish Art sale on May 13, a sale which includes paintings by all four of the Scottish Colourists – Samuel Peploe, George Leslie Hunter, Francis Cadell and J.D Fergusson.
The Harbour, Dublin (£10,000-15,000). UPDATE: THIS SOLD FOR £29,000 (€33,668)
