Join Hilary O'Kelly, Dress History and Fashion Studies, NCAD, for this special talk.
Art-historians have long celebrated the painterly flair of Osborne's accomplished portrait of his friend Mary Guinness with her daughter. This dress-history lecture will focus more particularly on the choice of dress selected by the sitter and artist. Reading the image through their very distinct dress-choice, in the context of the period, will aim to open up additional avenues of interpretation to the work’s painterly riches. The portrait is currently on display as part of our exhibition Walter Frederick Osborne: The Guinness Portrait.
Free admission, no booking required.
