專家說明

Dating to 1930, it is likely that Lilies in Moonlight was painted at Winifred Nicholson's home, Bankshead, Cumberland. In March that year, P.G. Konody praised the painting in an article titled 'Berthe Morisot and Winifred Nicholson': ‘The entrancing still life entitled Lilies in Moonlight is a picture which in itself would suffice to establish a great artistic reputation, and which should find a home in a public gallery. ... Personally I have no doubt how Winifred Nicholson will be regarded in twenty or thirty years hence’ (op. cit.). In 1950 it was acquired by the Toledo Museum of Art, where it remained until 2003.

We are very grateful to Jovan Nicholson for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
