The Lillies
Mid 20th Century School
A bold and expressive still life depicting a vase overflowing with white lilies set against a softly abstracted interior backdrop. Painted with energetic brushwork and rich impasto texture, the composition balances cool blue-grey tones with flashes of deep green and warm ochre. Reflections across the tabletop and the sculptural quality of the flowers lend the work both movement and atmosphere, while the thickly applied paint gives it a distinctly painterly charm.
