Published Estimate: €1,000-1,500
Price Realised: €2100 -
Dimensions: 0 by 0cm., by in.
Provenance: J. Edwin Yeats (the sitter’s son), Toronto, Canada; Thence by descent; Sotheby’s, Billingshurst, August 2001; Private collection, Nottinghamshire
-
A collection consisting of a photograph album, loose photographs (10), postcards (17), framed sketches (2) and a letter - the property of J. Edwin Yeats, a first cousin of John Butler Yeats. Edwin was the third son of John Butler Yeats’ favourite uncle Matthew Yeats. He emigrated to Toronto, Canada, and worked there as a banker. The archive contains 13 postcards sent from Edwin’s unmarried sister Grace A. Yeats (pictured in photograph), who remained in Ireland, living in Dalkey, addressed variously to Edwin, his wife Jennie, and their two children, Frank and Grace B. Yeats. Also 3 postcards from Grace’s mother, A.G.M. Yeats (‘Gracie Yeats’ - the sitter in John Butler Yeats’ portrait - see previous lot) to her son’s family in Canada. The letter, dated 31 May 1919, and sent from Denham, Canada, is from Edwin’s brother Dr John Francis Yeats, ‘Frank Yeats’, and discusses mainly financial affairs. Also included is a pencil and wash drawing (5.75 by 7.5 inches) of Lough Gill in Sligo, by Frank Yeats; the inscription on reverse records it was his first sketch, done at the age of 60 in September 1922, and given by him that Christmas to his brother Edwin. A second drawing in the same hand although unsigned (4.5 by 7 inches, pencil and wash), is inscribed “Killnamora” and depicts a house which is believed to be Matthew and Grace Yeats’ first home in Co. Kildare. Frank’s was also probably the hand that coloured a black and white photograph of Fort Louis, Matthew and Grace’s house in Co. Sligo, where John Butler Yeats frequently visited. The photograph album contains portrait photographs of many members of the Yeats family, including two of John Butler Yeats, circa 1920, as well as an autographed photograph of Irish poet, novelist and friend of W.B. Yeats, Katherine Tynan (1861-1931), inscribed to Edwin Yeats and dated 24 February 1888.

George Russell (AE) has been the subject of several works by John Butler Yeats whose sensitive humane portraiture has been deservedly celebrated for more than one hundred years. F. York Powell in his 1901 catalogue essay for the joint exhibition of Nathaniel Hone and John Butler Yeats noted, “The inspiration of Yeats’ art is sympathy… it is the life, the humanity, the mood, the temper of the sitter that he is always striving to render through, and by means of, colour and line.” A similar sized drawing to this work entitled, G.W. Russell (AE), was exhibited in 1972 at ‘Paintings and Drawings by John Butler Yeats from the Collection of Senator Michael B. Yeats and the National Gallery of Ireland’, Dublin, 30 November, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the artist’s death, catalogue no. 39. AE and Yeats were kindred mystics in an age of delightful spiritual and cultural exploration. Yeats with his spontaneity of line, especially in his pencil drawings, was clearly drawn towards portraiture as an outlet. His fellow artist as a subject perhaps satisfied in some way his own craving for the spiritual.

NEW YORK SKETCHBOOK, circa 1907-22

Signature: final page inscribed with name of sitter,John Quinn
Medium: 23 pencil drawings in a sketchbook with suppliers label of N
Dimensions: 15 by 20cm., 6 by 8in.
Provenance: The artist's nephew, Rupert Gordon (1984-1961); Thence by descent
-
Contains twenty-three drawings on eighteen pages, all portraits and figure studies. One portrait is of John Quinn, Yeats’ American patron. Others were tentatively identified by Eileen Gordon (sister of Rupert Gordon) in 1967 as members of the Yeats family. However, comparison with other named portraits exhibited in 1987 at the Albany Institute of History and Art, New York, suggests these are portraits of Yeats’ American friends Celestine Petitpas, Mary Shaw and John and Dolly Sloan. Celestine was the youngest of the Petitpas sisters, in whose boarding house at 317 West 29th Street Yeats lived from 1909 until his death. Yeats was particularly fond of Celestine and sketched her on many occasions. Mary Shaw was a wealthy older patron who often visited Petitpas to listen to the Irishman expound on his favourite subjects, all the while sketching portraits of his appreciative audience. The first portrait in the book is possibly John Sloan, another of Yeats’ New York patrons.

LADY DOZING
John Butler Yeats RHA (1839-1922)
- Auction
Date/Lot No.: 10 October 2011/ 55
Published Estimate: €500-700
Price Realised: €950 -
Medium: pencil
Dimensions: 15 by 20cm., 6 by 8in.
Provenance: Provenance:Gifted by Jack Butler Yeats to his friend and patron Ernie O'Malley (1897-1957); Thence by descent to the present owner
-
Ernie O’Malley (1897-1957), born in Castlebar, Co.Mayo was a major figure in theWar of Independence and the Irish CivilWar as well as a pivotal figure in artistic circles and author of enduring accounts of Irish modern history such as On Another Man’sWound.
Each of the following drawings is individually framed and bears a certificate of provenance and authenticity on reverse. (The female sitters in these works are likely to be Lily Yeats and Susan Mitchell both of whom regularly sat for the artist).
John Butler Yeats was father of a family of six with Susan Pollexfen (1841-1900) his wife whom he married in Sligo in 1863. Of the six children the most famous were poet William Butler Yeats and artists Jack B. Yeats, Lily Yeats and Lolly Yeats. Best known for his portraiture, several examples survive and can be found in the Yeats Museum, in the National Gallery of Ireland. His best known examples include a young William Butler Yeats and Fenian rebel John O’Leary (1904).
Yeats was born in Lawrencetown, County Down and educated in Trinity College Dublin. He began a career in law devilling briefly with Isaac Butt before taking up painting in 1867 and studying at Heatherley’s Art School. Although never financially secure from his craft, his later portraits are recognised as having a great sensitivity to the sitter and he was a much sought-after portraitist and gained numerous commissions in Ireland, the UK and America. The family relocated several times throughout his career finally settling in New York c.1908.There he befriended members of the Ashcan School of painters, a collective who rebelled against the American Impressionism movement at the time. In contrast to its emphasis on light, the Ashcan School works were normally dark in tone, capturing harsher moments of life in Manhattan. John Butler Yeats is buried in Chestertown Rural Cemetery in Chestertown, New York. -

Presentation copy inscribed ‘To John B. Yeats / with the kind regards of / John Quinn / June 29, 1917’. A fascinating association copy linking the New York lawyer and connoisseur John Quinn, his young protege Ezra Pound, and the painter John Butler Yeats, then almost 80 and living in New York under Quinn’s protection and at his expense. Although Fenellosa is named as first author, the work was compiled by Ezra Pound, who persuaded Quinn to finance publication. Fenellosa’s work had a considerable influence on W.B. Yeats and on the Irish theatre movement.
