Story / Additional InfoAn earlier work by this artist in her lily period. She was interested in interiors with a lot of depth and strong reflections and created a number of works like this with the lilies dominant. The cat is peeking out of the corner, an homage to Pierre Bonnard who often included animals lurking in hidden spots in the painting. The work is stylized with very painterly brush strokes and perhaps a more austere composition than later works. The colors are bright with more of an analogous color scheme.
