Description
Title: PORTRAIT OF JAMES ARTHUR O'CONNOR
Note: John Hutchinson writes in the 1985 catalogue: "O'Connor's original self-portrait has not been traced. This is a later copy of the picture, by an unknown artist. In the original painting O'Connor looks withdrawn and rather fearful 'as though he presaged his sad career', to quote Bodkin's wistful comment."
