Adam's The Deborah Brown Collection 1st October 2024

32 On her return from Paris, Deborah Brown began to paint rhythmic, stylised and highly coloured works drawn from Irish legends (particularly from the north Antrim coast where she had been brought up), and some Biblical subjects. Although only in her mid-twenties, she held reg- ular solo exhibitions, including with the Belfast Museum and Art Gallery (now the Ulster Muse- um), the British Council, and the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts. 30 DEBORAH BROWN (1927 - 2023) October Evening on the Seine, 1950 Oil on board, 39.5 x 51cm Signed lower right, inscribed verso Exhibited: Belfast, ‘ Deborah Brown ’, CEMA, Donegall Place Gallery, 1951, catalogue no.1 € 300 - 400 31 EVIE HONE RHA (1894 - 1955) Composition Gouache on card, 28 x 17cm Signed in pencil, lower left Provenance: With the Dawson Gallery, Dublin € 4,000 - 6,000
