About Mildred Anne Butler
Born

Died
1941
Nationality
Irish
Mildred Anne Butler (1858–1941) was an Irish artist who worked in watercolour and oil. Born near Thomastown in County Kilkenny, she spent most of her life at Kilmurry and developed a practice centered on landscapes, genre scenes, and animal subjects. Butler is associated with the Newlyn School, although the collected institutional sources provide limited detail about the precise extent of that connection. Public collections represented through Art UK include the Ulster Museum and the Royal Watercolour Society. Listed works such as A Sunshine Holiday, Early Spring, Springtime, and A Sheltered Corner illustrate the seasonal, pastoral character frequently encountered in her work. Collectors may find Butler through watercolours of gardens, countryside, figures, flowers, or animals, as well as oils. Her records at Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, Tate, and the Library of Congress help distinguish her from similarly named creators and support consistent matching across museum, library, and auction databases.

Common works and media
Works likely to appear in collection and appraisal contexts include watercolours and oils depicting landscapes, gardens, flowers, seasonal countryside, animals, and figures outdoors. Art UK records titles including A Sunshine Holiday, A Sheltered Corner, Early Spring, and Springtime. Because medium and attribution affect comparison, a work catalogued as watercolour or attributed to Butler should be evaluated against records with the same designation rather than against the artist's market as a whole.
Market and appraisal context
Butler's market should be assessed through closely comparable works rather than a single headline result. Appraisily's matched public dataset reports 79 auction records, including 39 priced records, across a 2001–2026 observation range. For an individual work, relevant comparisons should align on medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, attribution, and provenance. Signature and inscriptions, restoration history, exhibition documentation, and catalogue references can also affect how confidently a lot is identified and compared. Reported results may treat buyer premiums and fees differently, while private sales and incomplete auction feeds may not appear in the dataset. These records provide market context, not an object-specific valuation or authentication conclusion.
