Floral still life scenes had been a favoured subject of Mary Fedden's since the 1940s. As her practice evolved, Fedden's style became more illustrative in nature, experimenting with flattened perspective and bright colour.In this charming gouache painting from 1994, Fedden shows the continued inspiration of flora on her practice. Sat atop a white rounded chair (another revisited subject), this vase of lilies becomes part of a playful domestic scene.
