The face of Ireland's greatest poet, painted by the hand that raised him.

Portrait of W.B. Yeats

John Butler Yeats captured his son William at the threshold of genius in this intimate 1900 portrait, now hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland. The painting shows the young Nobel laureate with characteristic intensity, his gaze fixed on something beyond the canvas. This is your chance to bring home the face of the man who gave voice to Irish dreams.

About the Artist

John Butler Yeats was a Dublin-born painter and father to one of literature's immortals. He spent his life between Ireland and New York, creating honest, searching portraits that captured the inner lives of his subjects. In painting his son, he created not just a family keepsake, but a window into the mind of a poet who would reshape how the world understood Ireland.

About this work

This portrait of the poet William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was painted by his father, the Irish artist John Butler Yeats (1839–1922), in 1900 — W.B. was thirty-five, a decade before the Abbey years and twenty-three before the Nobel Prize. John Butler Yeats painted his son repeatedly across his life; the National Gallery of Ireland holds several. The original is oil on canvas, 77 × 64 cm, and hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI.872), presented in 1926. This print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.
