About the piece

Painted in 1890 by Benedicte Scheel, this oil on linen still life captures the ephemeral beauty of lilacs in bloom. The composition features heavy clusters of purple and white blossoms resting on a neutral surface, rendered with a light-filled, painterly touch that emphasizes the delicate texture of the petals against a muted, atmospheric background.
