About the piece

Painted in 1887 by Lucien Henry, this oil on panel work features a bold red waratah—a flower native to Australia—resting in a blue ceramic vase. The composition is energized by a complex, interlocking geometric pattern in gold and blue, reflecting the artist's interest in integrating Australian flora into formal decorative design.
