About Evie Hone

Evie Hone (1894–1955) was an Irish painter and stained glass artist regarded as one of the country's most significant modern ecclesiastical designers. Born Eva Sydney Hone in Clonskeagh, she studied in London and Paris, where she encountered cubism and became one of its early practitioners in Ireland. A member of the Royal Hibernian Academy, Hone's career is often divided between her earlier cubist-influenced paintings and the stained glass work that would dominate her mature output. She joined the An Túr Gloine cooperative in Dublin, producing windows for churches and public buildings across Ireland and Britain. Her best-known works include the East Window in the Chapel at Eton College, depicting the Crucifixion, and the large-scale panel My Four Green Fields, now housed in Government Buildings in Dublin. Hone's religious and figurative stained glass remains a touchstone of twentieth-century Irish sacred art.

Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Hone's work in several forms: stained glass panels and church windows (often religious in subject), oil paintings reflecting cubist and post-cubist composition, gouaches and watercolours, preparatory cartoons for glass commissions, and limited prints or reproductions. Ecclesiastical subjects such as the Crucifixion, the Madonna, and Irish saints are recurrent themes. Smaller standalone glass panels and design studies appear more frequently on the market than large architectural installations.

Market and appraisal context

Evie Hone's auction market spans 50 recorded lots from 2001 through March 2026, with 35 carrying realised prices. The market is anchored by Irish specialist houses—Whyte's, Adam's, deVeres, Mealy's, and Gormleys—supplemented by major international sales at Sotheby's and Christie's. Prices cluster between £1,300 (25th percentile) and £6,000 (75th percentile) with a median near £2,600. The ceiling is defined by a Sotheby's London result of £18,000 (September 2018, untitled work), and Barridoff Auctions achieved $7,920 in 2010. The floor sits at £125 for a small Christie's abstract composition (October 2015). Stained glass panels, religious subjects (Crucifixion scenes, Madonna, saints), and cubist-period gouaches dominate the lots. Works with strong gallery or studio provenance—such as pieces traced to the Dawson Gallery, Peppercanister Gallery, or the estate of Leo Smith—command premiums. Liquidity is low: only one lot appeared in the most recent 12-month window (Roseberys, March 2026, £1,100 for a "Moses" subject), and zero in the preceding year, suggesting an infrequently traded but culturally significant market.

Appraisal caveats

  • No major auction-house source was available in the source pack; auction category and valuation observations are derived from biographical context and the artist's known output. Appraisals should reference verified comparable sale records.
  • Only 35 of 50 recorded lots carry realised prices; unsold or unpriced lots are excluded from price statistics and may bias the distribution upward.
  • Recent trading volume is very thin (1 lot in the 24 months to March 2026), so the median and percentile figures reflect the full 2001–2026 window rather than current market conditions.
  • Lot titles in the record do not consistently specify medium; some may be prints, reproductions, or minor studies rather than original works.
