Twelve Portraits: H. M. the Queen

William Nicholson

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and beige portrait of a woman in a long robe and head covering, holding a walking stick with her right hand. The woman is standing with her body facing right and her head turned toward the viewer. The woman wears a fur-trimmed hat and a long coat or robe with what appears to be a satchel strap over her left shoulder. The woman appears to be walking a dog on a leash held in her right hand. The dog appears to be a large breed with pointy ears. The background has a flat dark line resembling a horizon and a lighter-colored area behind the figure. The artist's name, "William Nicholson," is written in small text in the bottom-left corner. The image has a thin black border. The bottom of the image reads, "H.M. The Queen."
