The artwork, titled “Flowers,” was created by artist Christopher Wood in 1930. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork depicts a humble yet elegant arrangement of flowers in a simple vase. The medium employed appears to be pencil or charcoal, lending the piece an immediate and raw quality characteristic of a study or initial sketch. The strokes vary in intensity, with some areas allowing lighter shading to depict the delicate forms of the petals and leaves, while other parts employ denser, more defined lines to outline the shapes robustly. The background remains lightly shaded, bringing attention to the floral subject, which is imbued with both simplicity and depth. This piece captures the fleeting, delicate beauty of flowers through the artist’s keen observational skills and his adept use of minimalistic drawing techniques.
