Portrait of Augusta Gregory – John Butler Yeats Art Print

John Butler Yeats's portrait of Augusta Gregory, painted from life in 1903, hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland — playwright, folklorist and co-founder of the Abbey Theatre, as an archival art print, framed or unframed.

Her gaze carries quiet strength against a subdued, painterly ground. The year after this portrait, the Abbey opened its doors.

The Artwork

Lady Gregory was a central figure in Ireland’s cultural renaissance, opening her home at Coole Park to writers and artists including W.B. Yeats, Synge, and many others. In this portrait, John Butler Yeats sets her against a subdued, painterly background, allowing her thoughtful expression and finely observed features to carry the composition. It is both a tribute to her character and a key image of the Irish Literary Revival.
