拍品資料及來源
Born in Portadown, Co. Armagh, Charles Lamb is notable for his depictions of the Irish landscape and people. He trained at the Belfast School of Art and followed in his predecessors' footsteps, such as O'Conor, Osborne and Leech, by travelling to Brittany from 1926-7 and portraying the lives of the local people. He displayed the same aptitude here as he did for capturing the lives of those in the West of Ireland, in a manner akin to Sean Keating.
