1897
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Cabriolet is a 1897 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a simple black cabriolet parked on a street. A woman in a long dress stands near it, looking down. The colors are mostly dark, with bright touches on the car and her dress. Nicholson often started with woodcuts before painting. He colored them by hand first, then used lithography for prints. This shows in how flat some colors look. Try looking up William Nicholson (British, 1872–1949) next.
Nicholson first produced his designs as woodcuts which he hand-colored with watercolor. Following this model, lithography was used to print color for large editions.
