Sauter traveled across Europe, working on his craft in Holland, Belgium, France, and Italy before settling in London in 1895, where he married Lilian Galsworthy and remained for the next twenty years. His marriage to Galsworthy, whose father was a well-known author, introduced him to several prominent artists including James Whistler and Joseph Pennell. Sauter, who had not become a citizen during his stay in London, was interned at the outbreak of World War I and repatriated to Germany in 1917. Following Sauter’s death, Sir John Lavery wrote that Sauter "did more to spread a knowledge of what was best in art than any man of his time."
