She sits in a sunlit garden, playing the harp — her dog at her feet, a child watching from the doorway. The setting is warm, lush, almost dreamlike. But Josephine Joy put that harp there for a reason.
It is the emblem of the Society of United Irishmen, founded in 1791 to resist British rule. Their motto: "It is new strung and shall be heard." Joy painted this between 1935 and 1938 — an American artist encoding Irish defiance into a garden full of light.
Painted in a vivid folk art style, every detail rewards a closer look. This is a print that holds its meaning long after it goes on the wall.
