Painting of The Pietà : commissioned by Mother Provincial (Melbourne), Good Shepherd, New Ross, Waterford

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  The original painting there is the "Lamentation over the Dead Christ" by Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641). It was painted c.1635 for Saint Mary's Chapel in the "Recollects" convent of Antwerp. Original now at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp. Maybe the Mother Provincial took the photo herself on her travels and commissioned a copy?

  For comparison (including newer frame) via Hendrik van Zeldenrust on flickr

• oaktree_brian_1976 said:

  not much help dating this one, 50 yr range for the photo, several hundred for the painting. This is in a convent today?

• Niall McAuley said:

  Here is the Convent in the 1911 Census

• DannyM8 said:

  I suppose it is possible that the convent in New Ross had a copy of this famous painting?

Basketball? Netball? with the Sisters of Charity

• Marine Attack Squadron ( VMA ) 225 said:

  Basketball in Ireland ???

• desmondg47 said:

  They used to play netball if that's the same thing? The shot is in Sisters of Charity Convent Lady Lane and Spring Garden Alley Waterford

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  desmondg47 Wondering if you're right about the netball! Might be a faulty description in our catalogue...

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Checked in the Irish Newspaper Archive and basketball is reported as a functioning sport in Ireland from 1945 onwards... (Volleyball from 1965, and Netball from 1935.)

  The graveyard is for the religious of the establishment only.

• Niall McAuley said:

  I think the photoshopping has scratched out the laundry hung out to dry.
  
  Looks like a convent/school/chapel complex.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Is that reversed handwriting at bottom left? Or weeds!

• Niall McAuley said:

  Possibly Sisters of Mercy in Bantry? GeoHive 25" link
  
  Yes, here it is in the archive with the laundry unshopped.
