Peter Walker Nicholson

Peter Walker Nicholson was a British painter.

After being educated as a lawyer, Nicholson decided to take up painting and entered the Ruskin School in Oxford. He showed great promise and was very talented, but by tragic accident died very young.

During a year's stay in Paris in 1881, Nicholson was influenced by the work of artists of the Barbizon school, who took as subjects of paintings of everyday life of peasants in a realistic style. Nicholson painted rural landscapes and managed to create his masterpiece, the genre painting The Burning of Weeds, which is on display at the Royal Scottish Academy.
