Summary

Description
English: One of the largest canvases (160” x 130”) which is set in the wall of the entrance hall is a painting by Van Wyck on canvas, a full length Equestrian picture, probably done about 1690, of Donough Cairbreach O’Brien, King of Limerick and Thomond, who has been noticed earlier here. He is in full armour, mounted on a prancing horse, also armoured. An inscription painted on the canvas reads :- “Donough O’Brien quondam Hibernorum Rex” (one time King of Ireland). The date given is AD. 1250, but no doubt is meant for AD. 1230, as the sub¬ ject of the pictures died in AD. 1242. [1]
Date c. 1690
