William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Two Girls and a Dog in the Wood
Pastel, 33.8 x 23.8cm (13¼ x 9¼'')
Provenance: The Estate of the Poet's daughter, Anne Yeats (1919-2001), her sale HOK, 19th November 2002, Lot 587, where purchased; later sold at Whytes, February 2007, where purchased; private collection.
As a young man W. B. Yeats studied at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art (1884-85) and at the RHA painting schools (1886) before turning to writing as a fulltime occupation. A number of his pastel drawings and oils are in institutional collections, and several others were sold with the contents of his daughter Anne Yeats' estate, in 2002. The present example is thought to be a depiction of the two Gore-Booth sisters, Eva and Constance.
