    Harry Kernoff RHA (1900-1974) TULIPS [IN A VASE], 1971 oil pastel and oil on board signed lower left and lower right; titled on reverse h:15  w:20 in. Provenance: Adam's, 23 March 2005, lot 51; Private collection The son of Jewish parents of mixed Russian and Spanish descent, Kernoff was born in London but moved to Dublin at an early age when his father opted to begin a cabinet-making business there. Kernoff’s artistic training began with night classes at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. Upon winning the prestigious Taylor Scholarship in 1923, he became a day student and henceforth devoted all his energies to art, working also for a time on designing stage sets in the company of actors such as Mícheál MacLíammóir and Hilton Edwards. Some time after this he visited Paris, staying for a month painting and sketching. In 1926 Kernoff began exhibiting at the RHA, continuing to do so nearly every year for the next five decades. He joined the Dublin Society of Painters in 1927 and held many solo exhibitions at their studio in no. 7 St. Stephen’s Green. He also had two solo exhibitions with the Victor Waddington Galleries in 1936 and 1937 and numerous shows abroad in London, Glasgow, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Chicago and Toronto. In 1930 he visited Russia and later published on article on his experiences there prior to the Stalinist regime. At home, from his Dublin studio at no. 13 Stamer Street, Kernoff supported himself largely through selling woodcuts; three books of these were published, the first in 1942. He also contributed to other publications such as James Stephen’s Crock of Gold and A Broadside (Cuala Press) among others. His depictions of working-class Dublin and smaller towns across the country are much sought after by collectors, as are his portraits of Ireland’s leading literary and theatrical figures, some of which now hang in the Dublin Writer’s Museum among other public collections.

    Harry Kernoff RHA (1900-1974) ANGLESEA MARKET, DUBLIN, 1933 oil on board h:38  w:25 in. Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist, 1968; Private collection; Thence by descent to the present owner Exhibited: RHA, Dublin, 1933, catalogue no. 266 Reviewing the 1933 annual exhibition at the Royal Hibernian Academy, the Irish Independent correspondent noted that two paintings by Harry Kernoff offered 'remarkably life-like impressions of open-air scenes.' One of these was The Anglesea Market: a busy street scene showing the characteristic colouring of Kernoff's cityscapes. Framed by a jigsaw of buildings and wooden shop fronts, Kernoff fills the narrow space with bric-a-brac: a brass bed frame, an armchair, tables, a chest of drawers, crockery and books, along with a range of coats and other clothing. The clutter is enlivened by the shoppers and traders that weave their way through the market's offerings. The markets in the Moore Street area were a popular subject with Dublin's artists, including Flora Mitchell and Fergus Ryan. A preparatory watercolour for Kernoff's painting was sold at Whyte's in 2011 and there are subtle differences between these versions, in keeping with the painter's methods. For example, in the present work, a glimmer of humour is added through the artist's inclusion of three volumes of Thom's street directory (dates 1917, 1922 and 1932) surmounted by a skull, perhaps foreshadowing the street's later demise to make way for the Ilac Centre in the 1980s. Born in London in January 1900, Kernoff moved to Dublin with his family in 1914. While working as an apprentice cabinet maker with his father, the young artist attended classes at the Kevin Street Technical Schools, before moving to the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art as an evening student in 1919. In 1923, Kernoff was awarded the Taylor Scholarship, enabling him to enrol full-time as day student. His first solo exhibition was held in the rooms of the Society of Dublin Painters in 1927 and over the following decades, he dedicated his painting practice to the representation of daily life in Ireland's towns and cities.

    Title: Autumn Day, Phoenix Park, Dublin Medium: Watercolour Signature: Signed Lower Right Provenance: Private Collection Framed Description In this evocative watercolour, Harry Kernoff captures the golden hush of an autumn afternoon in Dublin’s Phoenix Park. The composition is suffused with a warm, seasonal light as ochre and russet leaves rustle gently across a tree-lined path. Kernoff’s finely observed rendering of the landscape is complemented by his sensitive portrayal of a lone figure strolling beneath the trees, adding a lyrical human element to the scene. His use of transparent washes and subtle tonal variation imbues the work with a quiet elegance. Signed lower right and framed in a classic gilt frame that highlights its luminous quality.

    Title: Young Mexican Girl Medium: Pastel Signature: Signed lower left & dated '74 Provenance: Private Collection Framed Description A tender portrait of a young girl is rendered in soft pastel tones on paper, exemplifying Harry Kernoff’s eye for everyday humanity. The pastel medium is applied in velvety layers and bold strokes, creating gentle transitions in the girl’s complexion and the folds of her simple clothing. She is depicted gazing slightly aside, her youthful features captured with warm, earthy colours and an understated background that focuses attention on her face. Kernoff’s style infuses the scene with a sense of Dublin life; the informal pose and directness of the portrait suggest the artist’s connection to his sitter. The work is signed by Kernoff, the signature discreetly placed, confirming the authenticity of this charming and intimate piece.

    Title: Attorney (T. O'Mahoney, Barrister) (1935) Medium: Oil on board Signature: Signed lower left & inscribed on verso Provenance: Private Collection Framed Description A captivating oil by Harry Kernoff, The Attorney presents a theatrical portrait of a barrister mid-oration, dramatically caught in the moment of delivery. The figure’s exaggerated facial features, animated hand gestures, and the pronounced tilt of the head bring a strong sense of personality and caricature to the work. Kernoff’s palette – rich in earthy browns, parchment whites, and a lilac backdrop – amplifies the visual drama. The subject is attired in full court dress, complete with white wig and bands, and clutching a document in one hand. The angular style and bold linear forms reflect Kernoff’s lifelong interest in social characters and Dublin’s theatrical and civic life. Signed lower right, this work stands as a humorous yet poignant portrayal of a public figure in performance.
