Irish painter Frances Kelly (later Boland) studied in Dublin at the Metropolitan School of Art and - with a travel scholarship - from 1932-35 in Paris. Back in Ireland she painted murals in a Dublin Hospital, and those at the old Russell Hotel. She specialized in still lifes. Her husband was well-known diplomat Frederick Boland, Irish ambassador to Britain and the first Irish ambassador to the United Nations. Her daughter Eavan Boland (1944-2020) became a well-known poet and author. After getting married she exhibited less and less. In 1932, Kelly submitted a portrait of Dr. Hayes Dockrell, Swimming and Boxing Champion. Hayes Dockrell was a water polo Olympian in 1928 and became a well-known orthopaedic surgeon.
