During John Egan's career, he made more than two thousand harps becoming famous for his invention of the “Royal Portable harp.” Measuring three feet in height, its size was considered ideal for society ladies.
The harps were made in black, blue, green or sometimes left in plain wood. They were elaborately hand-painted with gold shamrocks. Inscriptions on the brass plates contained the royal warrant, the coat of arms of King George IV and Egan’s business address at 30 Dawson Street where he made harps from 1815 to 1835.

One more piece of my art work, made from ebony and maple. It is a lidded bowl/vessel.
Virtually everything I made sold. Some were given as gifts. Wish I'd kept this one or made another.

A gallery worker poses with a complete set of 24 silver plates by Pablo Picasso, part modern renaissance sale at Sotheby’s, estimated to fetch 1.2 to 1.8m pounds.
This horrible man's behaviour towards women was a disgrace, and I don't think he had any talent anyway.
He did have talent though.

He did, once. But that was before his "flounder period" when he thought people went around, flounder-like, with both eyes on the same side of their head.

LOL. No, art is a very personal thing and I do believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm just kidding around.
