Bjorn Wiinblad used many devices to achieve the calmness he sought to convey in his work. In this 61-inch square ceramic tile panel he poses the two women seated among an array of flowers, picking blossoms while surrounded by an elaborate floral border. A variation on his monochromatic oriental theme, in this piece he uses blue tones to a rich effect, portraying the innocence and beauty of the young women amid the elaborate floral bouquet that engulfs them. The use of smaller sized tiles within the darker blue border adds to the sense of depth and dimension to the piece.

Provenance:
Acquired from the artist in 1985.
