John Singer Sargent's 1908 charcoal drawing, "William Butler Yeats," depicts the Irish poet in a close-up portrait, capturing his contemplative expression. The use of dramatic chiaroscuro highlights Yeats's features, with strong shadows casting across his face and neck. The artist's signature is visible in the upper right corner, and the drawing's simplicity and directness underscore Sargent's mastery of portraiture.
