Autorenporträt
John Butler Yeats, an Irish artist, was the father of W. B. Yeats, Lily Yeats, Elizabeth Corbett "Lolly" Yeats, and Jack Butler Yeats. The National Gallery of Ireland houses several of his oil and paper portraits, including one of his son William, painted in 1900. Raymond Keaveney (2002) considers his portrait of John O'Leary from 1904 to be his greatest. He traveled to New York on the RMS Campania with his daughter Lily in 1907, at the age of 68, and never returned to Ireland. In October 1909, he moved into his final residence, a boarding house managed by the Petitpas sisters at 317 West 29th Street. In New York, he became associated with members of the Ashcan School of painters. He died in the boarding house on February 3, 1922. Edmund Quinn created a death mask, which is now in the collection of the Yeats Society in Sligo. John Butler Yeats is buried at Chestertown Rural Cemetery in Chestertown, New York, with his friend Jeanne Robert Foster.
