A sketch by American artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) of Arthur Rose Vincent (1876-1956), an Irish politician, barrister and owner of Muckross House in County Kerry, Ireland. He served as High Sheriff of Kerry in 1915 and justice of the peace. He became an independent member of Seanad Éireann from 1931 for 9 years. In 1932 suffering from ill health, the Muckross estate became too difficult and too expensive, so Vincent and his parents-in-law donated Muckross House and its 11,000 acres estate to the Irish state to form part of Killarney National Park.

In 1932 suffering from ill health and finding the management and expense of the Muckross estate too difficult and too expensive, Vincent and his parents-in-law Mr and Mrs William Bowers Bourn donated Muckross House and its 11,000 acres estate to the Irish state as a memorial to Maud Bourn Vincent. It now forms part of Killarney National Park. In 1937 he left Ireland for Monaco, where he lived for most of the rest of his life.
