original oil painting by Mary A Lee landscape/peirce hickey skibbereen frame

For sale is a beautiful original oil painting on canvas, capturing a classic, tranquil Irish river landscape. This piece is not just a work of art, but a piece of West Cork history.

​The Artist: Mary A. Lee

This painting is signed by Mary A. Lee, a noted 20th-century landscape artist whose work was widely collected across Ireland and the UK from the 1970s through the 1990s.

​Style: She was celebrated for her "picturesque" style, specializing in serene river scenes, stone bridges, and the soft, atmospheric light of the Irish countryside.

​Reputation: While she was a master of pastels, her original oil works are prized for their depth and traditional charm. Her name became particularly synonymous with the River Lee in County Cork, making her a local favorite.

​The Provenance: Pierce Hickey, Skibbereen

This painting was professionally framed by the legendary Pierce Hickey Ltd. of The Square, Skibbereen.

​Pierce Hickey was a staple of the West Cork community for decades—a renowned photographer, newsagent, and framer.

​Having the original gold gallery sticker on the reverse adds significant local interest and confirms the painting's history as a professionally curated piece from West Cork.
