This auction is automated and takes place solely online through our website
www.adams.ie
During this period of open bidding you will be able to see the current win-
ning bid on each lot. You may place a higher maximum bid of your choice
and the bidding will automatically increase by the next increment.
If your maximum bid is several increments higher than the current bid, the
bidding will still only increase by one increment until there is a competing
bid in which case the system will move up one increment higher in your
favour. This process will
continue until your maximum amount is outbid.
**The system is designed to give the buyer the best chance of winning their
desired lot at the most competitive price, i.e. it will not jump to the maximum
bid entered unless there is a competing bid just below it**
EXAMPLE:
Bidder A leaves a maximum bid of €100, bidder B leaves a maximum bid of
€200 on the same lot. Bidder A is now knocked out of the lead and bidder
B holds the current winning bid that auto adjusts to €110 (NB not their
maximum bid). The system auto adjusts the bid to the next winning
increment. User B’s bid will only be further executed if another user bids
above their current bid of €110 up to their maximum of €200, after which
they will be knocked out and an e-mail issued advising them to increase
their bid.
Bidders are automatically informed by email if they are the current winning
bidder, or if they have been outbid by another competing bidder. If you
have been outbid and the auction is still open, you are free to leave a
higher bid.
At the end of the defined bidding period, 2pm on Thursday 8th July, if the
highest bid offered meets the minimum price designated by the Auctioneer
(i.e. the seller’s reserve price), the lot is sold.
In a timed auction, the closing time is staggered, with bidding for lot 1
ending at 2pm and each subsequent lot closing thirty seconds after the
previous. If there is a flurry of bidding on a lot just as it reaches its closing
time, the lot is kept open for an extended period to enable everybody to
fairly get their bids in.
All winning bidders will be notified by email once the auction has fully
ended.

that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of
any others. The condition report is an expression of opinion only and must not be treated as a statement of fact.

We are delighted to present a curated selection of 97 watercol-
ours and oils, (lot 1 to 97), from the studio of the late Fergus
O’Ryan RHA. These works have been held in storage since
Fergus’ death in 1989 and it is now time to share them with the
buying public. Through the generosity of the late May O’Ryan,
herself an artist, the proceeds will be donated to Our Lady’s
Hospice.
The theme of this body of work is the artist’s travels in Ireland,
principally in Wicklow and Connemara, and on the Continent. As
far back as the early 1950s, when international travel was not
commonplace amongst the Irish public, the O’Ryans visited Paris
and the Cote d’Azur, Spain, the Balearic and Greek Islands and
most notably Venice. The Irish views will resonate with many of
us who enjoy walking the Wicklow mountains while his Connema-
ra paintings, particularly those from around Roundstone, Cashel
and Errelough, capture the unique atmosphere, light and colour
of that majestic landscape. We do hope that this unreserved sale
will showcase Fergus O’Ryan’s range of skills and his easy style
and that this will provide perhaps new buyers with an opportuni-
ty to acquire works by a well-regarded but somewhat under-
rated Irish painter.

Portrait of Brinsley McNamara
Oil on board, 50 x 37cm (19¾ x 14½”)
Painted by Aïda Kelly, later Mrs Maurice MacGonigal, while she was still a student. Her
father William Kelly commissioned a series of six or seven portraits of actors dur-
ing the time he was involved with The Abbey Theatre as a producer. The series was
thought lost in the Abbey Theatre fire of 1951.
At some later stage a signature ‘HKernoff’ was added to the painting and requires
removal.
We are indebted to Ciarán MacGonigal for providing this information.

proved within three (3) years of the date of the auction at which
it was purchased, to have been a Forgery shall be refunded to
the seller subject to the provisions hereof, provided that:
(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer
within three (3) years of the date of the auction in the same
condition in which it was at the time of the auction together with
evidence proving that it is a Forgery, the number of the Lot and
the date of the auction at which it was purchased;
(b) The Auctioneer is satisfied that the Lot is a Forgery and that
the buyer has and is able to transfer good and marketable title
to the Lot free from any third party claims;

hereunder if:
(i) The description of the Lot in the Catalogue at the time of the
auction was in accordance with the then generally accepted
opinion of scholars or experts or fairly indicated that there was
a conflict of such opinion;
(ii) The only method of establishing at the time of the auction in

of scientific processes which were not generally accepted for
use until after the date of the auction or which were unreason-
ably expensive or impractical.
The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund
of the actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under
no circumstances shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage,
loss (including consequential, indirect or economic loss) or
expense suffered or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot
