Bird's nest and flowers Oil on board, 23 x 29.3 cm, by Mary Ensor (c. 1837–1886) Location unknown |
||||||||||
| A woven bird’s nest holding speckled eggs sits beside wild flowers, a subject Ensor returned to often, reflecting her focus on flowers and natural details within intimate compositions. Her typical Victorian still-life style is evident, with close observation of organic forms and modest scale, combining botanical elements and carefully arranged natural objects. |
