“White Lilies” is a watercolor painting on paper by Anders Zorn, exemplifying the Realism movement within the genre of flower painting. The artwork resides in a private collection.
The composition captures the serene elegance of white lilies, depicted vividly against a rich, deep blue background. The lilies, meticulously rendered in delicate white and subtle hints of green and yellow, are the focal point, drawing the viewer’s attention. The use of watercolors gives the piece a soft, almost ethereal quality, enhancing the natural beauty of the flowers. The contrast between the light petals and the dark background accentuates the lilies, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. This masterful depiction of flowers embodies the Realism movement’s dedication to lifelike detail and the beauty of the natural world.
