"Sir William Nicholson’s “The Windmill, Brighton Downs” is a small but highly characteristic example of that artist’s urbane style - so suave, in such ‘good taste’, that it might - paradoxically - have toppled over into vulgarity had it not been for his singular clarity of vision and his faultless perception of tone values."
