1899
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Twelve Portraits: Cecil Rhodes is a 1899 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a man standing with his hands behind his back. His face is serious, and the lines are bold and flat. The background shows a faint outline of buildings or trees, but it’s mostly blurred. The artist signed it "William Nicholson" in the top corner. The name "Cecil Rhodes" is written below the drawing, which might be who the man is. If you like this style, check out Realism—it’s all about plain, true-to-life images like this one.
Sir William Newzam Prior Nicholson (5 February 1872 – 16 May 1949) was a British painter of still-life, landscape and portraits.
