An exceptional flower piece by Stern, one of South Africa’s foremost artists, this work returns to a subject she painted often: the flowers from her Rosebank, Cape Town garden. Rich colour, creamy texture and thick palette-knife strokes give the composition its characteristic energy, while affirming Stern’s distinctive still-life style.
