More about this artwork

This evocative piece by William Nicholson, titled "Russell Sage," captures the compelling figure of an elderly man as he traverses an urban setting. Created in 1904, this lithograph is renowned for its straightforward yet powerful portrayal of its subject.In this work, Russell Sage is depicted as a figure of age and wisdom. Nicholson elegantly conveys the weight of time through the man's stooped posture and contemplative expression. Clad in a dark, form-fitting coat and a bowler hat, Sage holds what appears to be newspapers under his arm—a possible nod to his engagement with the business or contemporary affairs of his epoch.The background, while minimal, hints at a stark, bustling cityscape that contrasts with the central figure’s stillness and introspection. The use of muted colors and shadowing not only enhances the solemnity and introspective quality of the depiction but also embellishes the textural details of the man's garments and features."Russell Sage" stands out as a poignant reflection on aging and the passage of time within the inescapable forward march of society, rendered with Nicholson’s characteristic blend of simplicity and depth.
