She exhibited at the Goupil Gallery, The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, The Royal Society of Portrait Painters, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and eight times at The Royal Academy. The work is in excellent condition and is housed in the original frame. The whole is a great example of still life painting and is ready to hang. C.1930.

Still life painting gained prominence as a distinct genre during the seventeenth century, focusing on inanimate subjects such as flowers, fruit, and household objects to symbolise impermanence and natural beauty.

Authentic period pieces typically utilise woven linen or cotton canvas stretched over wooden stretcher frames, painted with linseed oil-based pigments and housed in hand-carved or molded composition frames.

Authenticity is assessed through microscopic examination of craquelure, canvas oxidation, stretcher mark impressions, pigment analysis, and the presence of historical framing techniques.

Pairing traditional gilt-framed canvases with minimalist walls creates a striking visual contrast that anchors contemporary spaces with historical depth and texture.

Preservation requires maintaining stable relative humidity and temperature levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, and consulting professional conservators for surface cleaning.
