This painting, inspired by the old masters, presents an impressive still life of lilies bathed in dramatic chiaroscuro light. The flowers, with their elegant white petals and long, graceful pistils, emerge from a deep, almost black background.
The light, which appears to come from the left, gently caresses the delicate contours of the lilies, bringing their shape and texture to life. The petals subtly catch the light, resulting in a range of hues from pure white to soft cream and warm golden highlights.
Green stems and leaves are visible in the shadowy parts of the painting, their shapes only vaguely suggested by carefully placed brushstrokes.
