About the piece

Painted in 1868 by Ferdinand von Wright, this masterful still life combines botanical precision with a rich, intimate atmosphere. Luminous white lilies and a soft pink rose stand in stark contrast to the deep, dark background, highlighting the exquisite textures of a leather workbox and leather-bound books resting on a vibrant red tablecloth. The work is a fine example of the artist's ability to elevate everyday objects through careful observation and light.
