They eloped five years later and their children, the artist Benjamin (Ben), the soldier John (Tony), the designer Annie (Nancy) and the architect Christopher (Kit), were born between 1894 and 1904. The children sat for both of their parents and Patricia Reed has stated that ‘as a child, Nancy was Nicholson’s favourite model’ (Patricia Reed, William Nicholson: Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings, Modern Art Press Ltd, London, 2011, p. 67). His earliest recorded portrait of her dates from 1901 when she was aged about two (Reed, op.cit., no.33), whilst Nancy with Ribbons (Reed, ibid., no.34) of the same year became the first of his works to be acquired for a public collection when it was purchased for the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Venice in 1905.Nancy in a Feather Hat was painted during a particularly auspicious period in Nicholson’s career. The family were established in homes in Mecklenburgh Square, London and Rottingdean in East Sussex, whilst his prowess as a portraitist was acknowledged by election to the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (1909) and his role as a founding member of the National Portrait Gallery (1910). A successful solo exhibition was staged at the Chenil Gallery in 1910 and William Marchant of the Goupil Gallery had become his main dealer.In her description of the present portrait, Reed has explained:‘The artist’s daughter, Nancy, aged ten, wears a blue shawl and a large feather hat, while the bouquet to her right suggests that she is a flower-seller. The apricot-coloured ostrich feathers and blue shawl were William Nicholson’s starting-point, but it is Nancy’s personality that attracts the viewer’s interest.’ (Reed, ibid., p.172). Indeed, the work encompasses not only the intimate yet unsentimental bond between father and daughter, but also Nicholson’s bravura use of dressing-up and other props to weave a suggested narrative, a deft manipulation of chiaroscuro and the use of contrasting colours to highlight aspects of a rhythmic composition. By presenting his sitter in a shallow, undefined space and in front of a plain, dark background, a palette based as much on monochrome as complimentary colour fields is used to the full, wielded by way of his beautiful handling of oil paint, in which fringe shawl and flower petals are realised with as much attention as tones of complexion and the texture of feathers. Nancy was to bear out the independence suggested at this age in adulthood, not least by applying feminist principles to her marriage to the poet Robert Graves and to her career designing and printing fabrics.When Nancy in a Feathered Hat was exhibited in the Goupil Gallery Salon in 1910, it was singled out for praise in the press from Country Life to The Studio. It was one of twenty-two works by Nicholson to be shown at the Venice Biennale of 1924, a milestone in his international career. Its illustrious provenance involves the 9th Duke of Marlborough (briefly) and includes the British businessman and Member of Parliament Frederick Leverton Harris. It was eventually acquired by Gillian Raffles’ father, J. E. (Jack) Posnansky, from whom she inherited it.This painting has been requested for inclusion in the William Nicholson exhibition at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester to be held from 22 November 2025 to 31 May 2026.

City Police, For Bravery at Fires in the Parish of St. Andrew by the Wardrobe, March 1893.'Alfred John Sanders was born in Heanton Punchardon, Devon in 1864 and twenty years later joined the City of London Police, attaining the rank of Inspector. During his early years of service, he received the Balloon Society of Great Britain Bronze Medal for Bravery in Saving Life. The Balloon Society was an educational and philanthropic society active in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. On 31 March (Good Friday) 1883, he rescued an old lady, Miss Bird, from the burning printing works of Messrs. Judd. Two days later he was again involved in saving life from a burning building, this time rescuing an aged caretaker, Mrs Fisher, from the top floor and in the process injuring his knee, which required hospital treatment. He retired from the Police in 1909 and spent his retirement in Devon. He died in his house, ‘Pinehurst’, at Vellator, Braunton, Devon, on 13 August 1939. (See ‘The Balloon Society of Great Britain’, by S. Adams and J. Boddington, L.S.A.R.S. Journal 41, p.45-50 for further information on the society and the rescues).
