London Types is a 1898 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a bold, flat image of a man in a dark coat and hat. His face is pale with red patches on his cheeks and lips. His hands are huge, gripping something small—maybe a pipe or a cigar—while his legs are stretched out awkwardly. The style looks simple but deliberate, almost like a sketch turned into a print. The black outlines and limited colors make it feel sharp and direct. If you like this style, check out William Nicholson (British, 1872–1949).
