Isaac Butt, founder of the Home Rule movement, in a chalk drawing by John Butler Yeats, 1901.
White hair lifted in feathery strokes, a heavy brow, a black stock tied at the throat — the face is modelled in soft grey chalk that thins to bare paper at the edges of the sheet. Isaac Butt (1813–1879) was the Donegal-born barrister who founded the Home Rule movement in 1870; this drawing is dated 1901, more than twenty years after his death. The sheet measures about 69.9 × 56.1 cm. This work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.
