Joseph Malachy Kavanagh (Irish 1856-1918), portrait of cleric, 29 1/2" by 19 1/2". Signed lower left. In good condition with some damage including two punctures to the canvas. The painting could use a good cleaning as well. Landscape painter, contemporary/friend of Walter Osborne. Although he was a prolific painter Joseph's work is relatively rare. He was a resident on Abbey Street when the buildings, including his studio and paintings, were destroyed by fire. The only surviving works are those which left his possession before the fire.
