Lilac
, exhibited at the RHA in 1920. If this is the case, it is certainly one of the
earliest examples of her exploration of such subject matter, more usually associated with her career from the
1940s onwards when she returned from London to live at Brookfield, the family home in Milltown. She exhib-
ited such subjects yearly at the RHA until 1957.
