About the Artist

William Rothenstein (1872–1945) was a British painter and lithographer who became friends with Yeats in London. He created this portrait during a formative moment in both men's lives. Rothenstein had a gift for seeing the interior world of his subjects—not just their faces, but the thinking happening behind their eyes. This lithograph remains one of the finest visual records of Yeats in his youth.Tracked, securely packaged, delivered in 2-5 business days.
