“The Flower Picker” is an oil-on-canvas artwork created by John William Waterhouse in 1895. This Romanticism piece, measuring 20.3 by 29.2 cm, exemplifies genre painting and is currently part of a private collection.
The artwork portrays a young woman in a blue dress reaching over a wooden fence to pick flowers. The setting appears pastoral, with a field and trees in the background, rendered in soft, impressionistic strokes typical of the Romantic style. The figure’s action and attire suggest a serene, everyday moment, captured with delicate attention to detail and texture, conveying a sense of quiet beauty and tranquility.
