The Irish Question — Collector’s Edition
The Irish Question (1880s) by De Scott Evans is a quietly provocative trompe l’oeil work: two potatoes suspended by string against a wooden panel, paired with a handwritten title card. The illusion is deliberate, but the meaning is deeper—an understated symbol of 19th-century Irish hardship and political tension, rendered with remarkable restraint and technical precision.
This Collector’s Edition reproduction is made to preserve the tonal depth, surface texture, and still-life realism that give the original its impact—an intelligent conversation piece for kitchens, studies, libraries, and refined interiors.
