Donleavy, the writer of literary classics such as The Ginger Man and A Fairy Tale of New York, depicts him at his home in Westmeath, elegantly dressed and framed by symmetrical window shutters. The keen look of sceptical intelligence on the subject’s face is centre pointed by the background view, through the window, of flourishing plants, emblems perhaps of the novelist’s vigorously fertile imagination.” €400-€600 (£340-£520 approx.)
