London Types: Coster

William Nicholson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a woman in a long pink dress and a large hat. The woman is wearing a pink dress with a full skirt and a matching pink jacket; a large hat with a high crown and wide brim. The woman's face is turned to the right; her hair is dark and styled up. The woman is standing in the center and facing right; she is the main focus. Behind the woman to her right is a man dressed in black and white stripes; he is bending over and touching a donkey. The donkey is on the right side. The background shows a cart with large wheels behind the woman on the left; the sky appears gray and there are buildings in the distance. The image has a beige background with a black border. The overall style is reminiscent of the "London Types" series by William Nicholson.
