Biography

Winifred Nicholson (née Roberts; 21 December 1893 – 5 March 1981) was a British painter. She was a colourist who developed a personal impressionistic style, concentrating on domestic still life objects and landscapes. She often combined the two subjects as seen in her painting From Bedroom Window, Bankshead showing a landscape viewed through a window, with flowers in a vase in the foreground.
