Twelve Portraits: Lord Roberts is a 1899 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a large, blocky man sitting on a horse. His uniform looks stiff, with lots of buttons and a hat. Behind him, rows of tiny soldiers hold rifles, standing in neat lines. The background is flat and brown, like a faded sketch. The artist left out small details, focusing on big shapes and bold lines instead. This style makes the scene feel simple but powerful. Next, check out William Nicholson (British, 1872–1949) to see more of his work.
Sir William Newzam Prior Nicholson (5 February 1872 – 16 May 1949) was a British painter of still-life, landscape and portraits.
