George Frederick Nicholls (1857–1939) was a British painter renowned for his topographical artworks, particularly those depicting the landscapes of Cornwall, the Cotswolds, and Oxford. His works are characterised by strong technique and his ability to capture light and typically depict picturesque views over rural England. His art continues to be appreciated today for its detailed representation of early 20th-century British landscapes.
Nicholls painted this gouache of All Souls College from Oxford high street in the early 20th century. It captures the bustle of everyday city life, with a car trundling down the street, people crossing the road and engaging in some light window shopping.
