76 by 56cm., 30 by 22in.
An adoptive daughter of Ireland, Duncan studied at the Slade in London before
coming to Dublin in or around 1910. There she was befriended by Estella Solomons
and soon came to be associated with a group of nationalist sympathisers
including George Russell and James Stephens, amongst whom she used the Irish
version of her name, Maire Ní Dhonnchada. From a studio in Brunswick (now
Pearse) Street, where Estella Solomons too was based, she submitted works to the
RHA and held a joint show with Solomons at the Mills Hall, Merrion Row, in 1919.
Later, upon returning to England, she held her first London exhibition in
conjuntion with Solomons and Louise Jacobs at the Arlington Gallery in 1935.
Duncan eventually settled in Cornwall, where she died in 1964.
