1897
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
An Alphabet: D is for Dandy is a 1897 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a stick-figure man with an exaggerated pose. He’s holding a cane in one hand and a top hat under his arm. His face is simple, with big curly hair and a small mustache. The background is a plain brown color, and the whole scene looks like it’s made from cut-out shapes. The text under the image reads *"D is for Dandy,"* which suggests this is part of an alphabet series. The style is bold and flat, with strong black outlines against a light background.
