Eva Henrietta Hamilton (1876–1960), an Irish artist, was a portrait, landscape, and watercolour painter.
Eva Henrietta Hamilton was born in Dunboyne, County Meath. She was a daughter of Charles Robert Hamilton of Hamwood, eldest of her sisters Amy (b. 1879) and Letitia Marion, and cousin of Rose Barton, the watercolourist.[1] Eva was the great-granddaughter of the artist Marianne-Caroline Hamilton.[2] Eva and her sister Letitia painted, exhibited and travelled together.[3] Eva specialised in portraiture, particularly of children. She turned to landscape painting when she moved to Castleknock.[1]
Eva was educated at Alexandra College, Dublin.[3] She began exhibiting with the Water Colour Society of Ireland(WCSI) at the age of 22.[3] Eva studied under Sir William Orpen at the Metropolitan School of Art. She went on to study under Henry Tonks at the Slade School of Fine Art.[3] In 1904 she showed two portraits of her sisters at the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA).[3] She exhibited around 120 works at the Royal Hibernian Academy from 1904 to 1945, and also at the Irish International Exhibition in 1907.[1][3]
She painted such people as Lady Isabella Augusta Gregory.[4] The National Gallery bought an oil painting of hers, called Rose Dorothy Brooke for £1,806.25, in 1997.[5] She has a piece at the Model Arts Centre in Sligo.[6]
