Autumn Days (1928) — Collector’s Edition Art Print
By Mildred Anne Butler (1858–1941)
Autumn Days (1928) is a lyrical celebration of the Irish countryside by Mildred Anne Butler, one of Ireland’s most accomplished painters of nature and animal life. Set within a glowing autumnal landscape, the composition centres on a pair of peacocks whose poised elegance is balanced by the soft decay of falling leaves and late-season light.
Painted at the height of Butler’s maturity as an artist, the work reflects her sensitivity to atmosphere, texture, and animal presence. The peacocks are rendered with controlled precision, yet never feel ornamental; instead, they inhabit the landscape with quiet authority—hallmarks of Butler’s finest wildlife painting.
About the Artwork
Autumn Days exemplifies Butler’s distinctive approach to nature painting—rooted in close observation and refined by an impressionistic handling of light. Warm ochres, muted greens, and softened shadows evoke the stillness of an Irish autumn afternoon, while the balanced composition lends the scene permanence and calm.
