Lot 135: Una Watters (1918-1965) Meditation Oil on canvas,

Una Watters (1918-1965) Meditation Oil on canvas, 69 x 59cm (27 x 23.14") Signed Born in Dublin in 1918, Una Watters attented the National College of Art where her skills as a painter were encouraged by Maurice MacGonigal. Between 1956 and 1965 she had several works exhibited by the RHA, was a member of the Society of Dublin Painters and won an Arts Council Award in 1965. Her The People's Garden is housed in the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art. Much of her early work was of a religious subject matter, and although she moved towards more everyday subject matter, a sense of humility and quietude remained strong. Meditation exhibits this quality, the rounded simple forms and autumnal hues creating a harmonious, intimate mood.
