Item Details

Ronald Ossory Dunlop RA (British, 1894–1973) | 'Figure in the Garden'

A mid-century modern oil on canvas by the Royal Academician, Ronald Ossory Dunlop. The painting depicts a Figure in the Garden and beautifully captures a sun-dappled courtyard or garden walkway. The composition centres on a classical stone statue or figure surrounded by lush foliage, framed by the architectural lines of a doorway and a grand window pane. In the background, a subtle, distant figure adds an intriguing layer of depth and narrative to the scene.

It is a wonderfully tactile and atmospheric work that exemplifies the post-impressionist spirit of the mid-20th-century British school.

Condition: The painting is in generally good condition. It has a small hole in each corner of the canvas which appear to be from drawing pins. The frame is in good condition with some knocks and marks commensurate with age.

Frame: Height 60cm x Width 50cm. Canvas: Height 51cm x Width 40cm.

 

Ronald Ossory Dunlop RA (British, 1894–1973)

Born in Dublin, Ronald Ossory Dunlop studied in London, Germany, and Paris before establishing himself as a central figure in the mid-century British art scene. He founded the Emotionist Group of artists and writers and was elected a full Royal Academician (RA) in 1950.

His work is characterised by a fluid, expressive use of thick paint applied directly with a palette knife—a technique that gives his canvases remarkable presence and energy. Dunlop’s works are held in prestigious public collections worldwide, including the Tate, the National Portrait Gallery, and regional galleries across the UK.
