Sheila Findlay’s White Chrysanthemums is a richly composed still life featuring the titular white flowers in a pale goblet, flanked by wine bottles, a blue ceramic jug, and an abundant spread of fruit—figs, pears, sweetcorn and more. A patterned green backdrop adds depth and texture. This detailed, characterful piece would suit a traditional kitchen, dining area, or any room that celebrates generous, well-observed domestic scenes with a hint of theatrical charm.
