One of his notable works, "My Lady Fair" (1903), showcases his mastery in capturing the beauty and grace of women through oil on canvas.

"The Funeral of a Viking" (1893) is another masterpiece by Dicksee that exhibits his ability to depict historical events with great detail. Through oil on canvas, he brings to life the solemnity and grandeur of a Viking funeral, immersing viewers in the ancient traditions and rituals. In "Memories" (c. 1886), Dicksee demonstrates his versatility by using watercolor on paper to create a delicate yet evocative composition. The painting invites us into an introspective moment as we witness the subject lost in thought, perhaps reminiscing about cherished memories.

This oil on canvas work depicts knights engaged in acts of honor and bravery, embodying the ideals of chivalry that were revered during medieval times. Through "Portrait of Mrs. W. K D'Arcy" (1902), Dicksee reveals his ability to capture not only physical likeness but also inner character through portraiture. With meticulous brushwork and attention to detail, he conveys the subject's personality while maintaining an air of sophistication. "The House Builders" (1880) showcases Dicksee's early career as an artist adept at depicting everyday scenes with warmth and realism using oil on canvas. This charming portrayal captures workers constructing houses against a backdrop of bustling activity—a testament to human endeavor. Dicksee also ventured into illustrating literary works such as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet series—specifically "Juliet's Chamber. " In these gouache en grisaille pieces from 1882, he brings the iconic tragedy to life, capturing the intensity and passion of the play.
