About the piece

Created in 1915, 'Jenny and Genevieve' is a quintessential example of Florine Stettheimer’s unique modernist vision. The work is characterized by its theatrical composition and a rich, saturated palette of reds, whites, and blues. Stettheimer’s intricate attention to decorative detail—from the whimsical butterflies to the dense floral wall coverings—creates a vibrant domestic scene that feels both intimate and grandly ornamental.
