1899
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Twelve Portraits: Sarah Bernhardt is a 1899 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, depicting Britain, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a long black dress and a fancy hat. She’s standing sideways, one hand in her pocket, looking off to the side. The background is a plain, light color with some dark lines that look like a doorway or curtains. The artist used bold black shapes and simple colors to make her stand out. The face and dress are flat, with little shading, which gives it a graphic feel. If you like this style, check out Realism for more work like this.
