The White Squadron in Cork Harbour by George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson is dated September 30, 1843. Estimated at £8,000-£12,000 (€9,600-€14,400) the painting comes up at Sotheby’s Irish art sale in London on November 15. It is part of a spectacular group of four works by George and one by Richard Atkinson from an Irish private collection with particular relevance to Cork. All were shown at the Maritime Paintings of Cork exhibition at the Crawford Gallery in 2005 as part of the Port of Cork exhibition and all will feature at Sotheby’s next month. There will be a preview of the Irish sale at the RHA Gallery in Dublin from October 31 to November 3.
