William Nicholson, Exhibition

Sir William Nicholson, Nancy in a feather hat (The artist’s daughter), 1910
Oil on canvas: 30 ¼ x 25 ¼ in / 76.8 x 64.1 cm

We were delighted to arrange the loan of Nancy in a feather hat, to the first major presentation of the artist’s work since 2004. Spanning the whole of Nicholson’s career, from his acclaimed prints and book illustrations to sensitive portraits, expansive landscapes and exquisite still lifes, the exhibition will run from 22^nd November 2025-10^th May 2026. A rare opportunity to rediscover one of Modern British art’s most beloved and versatile figures, the show will reconsider Nicholson’s spectacular output and successful career beyond artistic movements but at the heart of the art world. Nicholson painted Nancy several times before the First World War and she remains, like her father, a luminous, characterful, endlessly fascinating figure about whom we hope to discover more.
