拍品資料及來源
Aloysius O'Kelly's paintings range in subject from scenes of Brittany - a popular artist colony; Irish rural life and Oriental views. Ireland produced very few Orientalist painters, and O'Kelly developed his interest while studying under the great Orientalist painter Jean-Léon Gerome at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the mid-1870s. He produced a number of paintings in North Africa including Tangier and Cairo; while Lavery is the most obvious connection to O'Kelly in this capacity (see following lot), O'Kelly's greater focus on individuals and their way of life distinguishes his art.
