1900
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Russell Sage is a 1900 by William Nicholson, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a long coat, hat, and gloves, holding a small dog on a leash. His face is serious, with a slight frown. Behind him, a city street with tall buildings and people walking is faintly drawn. The artist used quick, loose lines to focus on the man’s face and clothes, leaving the background sketchy. The dog looks small and calm compared to the man’s big coat. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Sir William Newzam Prior Nicholson (5 February 1872 – 16 May 1949) was a British painter of still-life, landscape and portraits.
