Sir William Orpen, Self-portrait, 1906

The pen & ink with watercolor sketch was part of a letter sent by the Irish artist to his American patron + mistress, Florence Evelyn St. George. Orpen wrote almost daily to St. George - the letters always illustrated + sometimes composed of nothing but drawings. Their daughter Vivien gave over 350 illustrated letters by Orpen, dating between 1906 + 1929, to the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.

Haunting Art

"Half-way up the stairs it stands,
And points and beckons with its hands
From its case of massive oak,
Like a monk, who, under his cloak,
Crosses himself, and sighs, alas!
With sorrowful voice to all who pass,--
"Forever--never!
Never--forever!"

'The Old Clock on the Stairs' a watercolor illustration by William Ladd Taylor, feels all the more haunting when paired with this snippet from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem of the same name that it first appeared with in a 1904 issue of Ladies Home Journal.
