A sketched portrait of George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) by Walter Richard Sickert RA RBA 1860-1942), German-born British painter. Moore was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist from County Mayo. He originally wanted to be a painter, and studied art in Paris during the 1870s. There, he befriended many of the leading French artists and writers of the day and was particularly influenced by the works of Émile Zola, although outside the mainstream of both Irish and British literature, he is as often regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist.
