Bring a quiet moment of Irish country life into your home with this Collector’s Edition reproduction of Unpacking the Picnic, on a Hillside, Kerry by Mildred Anne Butler R.A., R.W.S. (1858–1941). Known for her lyrical watercolours and intimate views of rural life, Butler captures two figures and their donkey pausing on a soft Irish hillside, rendered in delicate washes of colour and atmosphere.
A leading Irish watercolourist and member of both the Royal Academy and the Royal Watercolour Society, Butler devoted her career to scenes of nature, animals, and everyday rural moments. This work was exhibited in The Irish Revival: An Exhibition of Irish Paintings from 1880 to 1950 (Pyms Gallery, London, 1982), underlining its importance within the story of Irish art.
