1898
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Twelve Portraits: Rudyard Kipling is a 1898 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting features a man in profile, facing right. He has a dark mustache and is wearing a suit jacket over a white collared shirt. The background is a warm, light brown color. The man's face is rendered in a simple, flat style, with bold lines defining his features. His suit jacket is depicted in a darker shade, with a subtle texture suggesting the fabric. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's use of bold lines and flat colors, explore the movement of Realism.
