Zinnias | William Nicholson

Zinnias (1911) by William Nicholson (English, 1872–1949) is a bold and elegantly composed still life that highlights the artist’s signature blend of simplicity and sophistication. The zinnias—vivid in reds, oranges, and pinks—stand out against a muted background, arranged with careful balance in a modest container. Nicholson’s precise brushwork and focus on shape and colour reflect his background in graphic design and printmaking, giving the piece a striking clarity and modern sensibility. This work captures the cheerful intensity of zinnias with understated grace and timeless style. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalize the image.
