William Nicholson painted a goat in a field. The goat stands still, staring right at you. Its coat looks rough and shaggy. A fence runs behind it. Nicholson cut out details to make shapes bold and simple. He used flat colors with dark outlines. This makes the goat pop against the quiet background. Look up William Nicholson (British, 1872–1949) next.
