About this work
A young woman leans forward from a grassy bank to pick tall spikes of gladioli in crimson, pink, mauve and yellow, cradling an armful of cut blooms against her striped purple-and-green dress. Below her a woven basket already holds a bunch of flowers along with a trowel and a pair of gardening gloves, and two swallows swoop across the sky overhead.
Soft washes of teal, olive and gold build a hazy dusk atmosphere, with the figure's pale skin and pastel dress set against deep green foliage. Delicate outlines and translucent color layering give the scene a gentle, storybook charm, evoking a quiet moment of picking flowers at day's end.
