Drawings attributed to Bram Stoker exhibited in Dublin

Bram Stoker Estate account

Estate summary

Ken Sweeney reports plans to exhibit pen drawings attributed to Bram Stoker during the centenary of his death. The report says the images of riders and horses were found in the home of Bram’s brother William Thornley Stoker and that Ivor Stoker Dickson supplied copies. Dublin Painting and Sketching Club president Tom Scott discusses Bram’s membership and the limits of the surviving artistic record. The article also announces an Aidan Hickey portrait for the Irish Writers’ Centre and a subsequent display at the club’s annual exhibition in Dún Laoghaire. Its distinctive contribution is this account of the drawings’ reported family provenance and the 2012 exhibition arrangements. Attribution to Bram remains qualified: the newspaper report is not independent authentication of the original sheets. The unrelated brief biography at the end is not used to settle disputed dates or first-publication claims.
