Unsurprisingly the Paul Henry oil painting “The Bog Road” was the star of the show at the Adam’s Sale of Irish Art in their Stephen’s Green Salerooms on October 13th. The wonderful painting exceeded its estimate of €40-60,000 and was eventually knocked down for €72,000. I was also pleased to note that the three watercolours by Frank Egginton that I mentioned in my pre-sale piece were also sold above their estimate – so, it appears that I am not the last bastion of good taste!
