EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Petticoat Lane" by William Orpen takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Measuring 21.6x14 cm, this pen and ink drawing showcases Orpen's incredible talent for capturing the essence of his subjects. The focal point of the artwork is a caricature portrait of Sir Hugh Lane, an influential Irish art dealer, collector, and gallery director. The drawing is inscribed on the reverse side of a letter from Lane himself, adding a personal touch to this unique piece. Orpen's skillful strokes bring out Lane's distinctive features while also hinting at his flamboyant personality. The artist masterfully portrays him with an air of campness and effete charm that adds depth to the character. Displayed in a private collection but made available through Abbott and Holder in London, UK, this print offers viewers an intimate glimpse into both Orpen's artistic prowess and Lane's significant role within the art world during that era. With its intricate details and historical significance, this image serves as a testament to Orpen's ability to capture not only physical likeness but also the essence of his subjects' personalities. It stands as a lasting tribute to Sir Hugh Lane's contributions as well as William Orpen’s legacy as one of Ireland’s most celebrated artists.
