1898
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Twelve Portraits: Sir Henry Irving is a 1898 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a man sitting on a rocky shore, looking out at water. His legs are bent, and he holds a walking stick. The background is simple—just a few lines for waves and a boat in the distance. The artist used bold black lines and flat colors to create strong shapes. The name "Sir Henry Irving" is written below, but we can’t see who he is. The style looks like it’s from the late 1800s, with a mix of realism and simpler lines.
