Sadler, the fifth son of the Solicitors John Dendy Sadler grew up in Horsham in the county of West Sussex on. At the age of 16, he decided to train as a painter and enrolled for a two-year course at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London, founded in 1845 . His brothers George and Thomas and his sister Kate also became artists. In 1871 he left the London art school and went to Düsseldorf , whose humorous, anecdotal and psychologizing genre painting particularly interested him. There he became a private student of Wilhelm Simmler . He stayed with him until 1875. He was also inspired by his British compatriot James Moulton Burfield (1845–1888), who mainly painted neo-baroque genre scenes with rococomotives. In 1872 he made his debut at the Dudley Gallery , Dudley . From the following year until 1914 he exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts . Sadler was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists , the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and the St. John's Wood Art Club . From 1897 he lived in Hemmingford Gray, where he died in 1923 at the age of 69.

Sadler is regarded as a popular, technically virtuoso genre painter of the Düsseldorf School, who, by depicting characters, family scenes, couples and gentlemen's groups, succeeded in seeing images of a traditional, mostly bourgeois milieu, which he liked to relocate to the "good old days" of the late Victorian era in many typifying and humorous facets.
