This work, ‘Lilies’ is an example of numerous still lifes with flowers of this period by the artist. A reduction to the essential is evident in this painting, as it had been from her earliest career. A vase filled with white lilies and smaller red flowers sits on the edge of table. The large colour fields behind it, which represent curtains, foreshorten the viewer’s gaze, whilst the radiant white of the petals is given a particular emphasis. The flattened nature of the composition, the concentration on the flowers and even the vase’s decoration close to the picture plane lend a sense of great peace to the image.
