The highlight of a sale of works from White Oaks, a prominent Atlanta mansion, was this portrait of Anglo-Irish society hostess Oonagh Guinness by Philip de László (1869-1937).
Oonagh was one of the three ‘Golden Guinness Girls’, the daughters of Arthur Ernest Guinness (1876-1949) who, as head of the family’s eponymous brewing business, rose to become the wealthiest man in Ireland. De László himself had married into a branch of the Guinness family, wedding Lucy Madeleine Guinness in 1900.
