William Orpen, Irish, 1878 - 1931

[Mischa Milosevic]

Linda thank you for starting this thread and for kindly posting the photos. Orpen has a interesting history and worth the reed. Sargent thought quite highly of him.

Cynthia, sometime ago I visited Sanden's page on Orpen and saw the painting of the young boy. Such simplicity of pose but masters hand.

Here is another with a feather.

Allan, I would love to see your version of the Lady R in color. I hope someone will come across it and post.

Mischa,
I just went in on this Orpen site:

I almost posted this feathered lady. Orpen had more fun than Sargent, it seems.

Mischa,
The portrait is in a private collection, so maybe we will never see it.

We should paint our own version, The Orpen Wannabees Wanna sees
