Seán Dixon (1905-1946) completed this sketch in
1931 after the Oblate Fathers in Inchicore commissioned him to paint a portrait
of Matt Talbot.
Dixon studied at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, and this
sketch can be viewed at the The Little Museum of Dublin.
(Note
the source link describes Matt as the “patron saint of
dipsomaniacs”
rather than the more common “patron saint of alcoholics” or “patron saint of
sobriety.”)
