In the years following, his wife and their two children, James and Alice, became frequent subjects for Butler's paintings-domestic scenes often marked by brilliant color and exuberant brushwork. The interior scene of The Card Players-Suzanne; daughter Alice; Suzanne's sister, Marthe; and artist William Howard Hart-was completed one year before Suzanne's untimely death.
