In this intimate domestic scene, Josephine Muntz Adams captures a woman mid-movement, absorbed in the quiet act of arranging flowers. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with soft tones and subtle highlights that evoke both tenderness and spontaneity. Seen from behind, the figure becomes part of the composition itself – an extension of the surrounding colour and light.
This was shown as part of Josephine’s retrospective exhibition at the Athenaeum Gallery in 1943.
