London Types: Hawker

William Nicholson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man in a street scene. The man wears a black bowler hat, a light-colored jacket, and dark pants with suspenders. He is holding something in his right hand and a bunch of flowers in his left hand. He appears to be standing in a street with a horse-drawn carriage behind him. The horse's head is visible. A few people are walking on the sidewalk in the background. The image is in a woodcut style, with bold black lines and a brown background. The overall color scheme is black, brown, and tan. The image represents a "Hawker", likely from a series titled "London Types".
