About this event
Mildred Anne Butler's works capture the natural beauty of her surroundings with precision, especially in depicting animals and birds, often using taxidermy for accuracy. Through some 15 of her finest artworks, the exhibition will showcase her exceptional talent as a watercolourist and highlight her story as an Irish woman artist, working at the turn of the nineteenth century. It will also present her as one of the first professional female artists in Ireland, who not only exhibited widely but sold her work well throughout her career. In addition to watercolours, a selection of archival material (on loan from TCD) will provide further insights about both her life and art.
