專家說明

During the 1930s in France, Serebriakova painted many floral bouquets, for which she carefully selected flowers and plants in order to achieve harmonious visual combinations. Her choice of sweet chestnuts in this still life is not accidental: the plant’s sharp leaves and thorns symbolise the difficulties endured by the artist in emigration. Other notable floral still life paintings by the artist include A Corner of a Garden, 1910, Chuvash State Art Museum, and Basket with flowers, 1934, Foundation Serebriakoff, Paris, amongst others.
We are grateful to Pavel Pavlinov and Ekaterina Lanceray of the Zinaida Serebriakova Foundation for their assistance in cataloguing this painting.
