About this work

A seated man in a waistcoat and open-collared shirt rests beside an easel bearing the letter D, with a palette and brushes in front of him, all rendered in a bold two-tone woodcut style. The caption at the bottom reads "A was an Artist," and the illustration forms part of William Nicholson's 1899 alphabet book.
