Orpen worked on this painting for three years. The setting is Hugh Lane's house in South Bolton Gardens, London. Six men are gathered around a breakfast table — George Moore reading aloud; Philip Wilson Steer and Henry Tonks listening; D.S. MacColl watching; Walter Sickert; and Hugh Lane, hand to his forehead, taking it all in. Manchester Art Gallery purchased the painting from the artist in 1910, and it remains in its collection today.
Above them hangs Manet's portrait of Eva Gonzales — the painting Lane had bought from a Paris dealer in 1906. Lane was the great Irish collector of his generation, the man who built the Municipal Gallery in Dublin, who died on the Lusitania in 1915 with his will unsigned, triggering a decades-long dispute between Dublin and London over thirty-nine paintings.
Orpen is not in the painting. But the room became his studio — he took over Lane's house in South Bolton Gardens after Lane moved on. Here he simply arranged the room, painted the men in it, and stepped back.
Sir William Orpen (1878-1931), born in Stillorgan, Co Dublin, trained at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin and the Slade School in London, becoming one of the most successful portrait painters of his generation. His work hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.
