Peters, Ph.D. and Ira Spanierman. From the mid-1880s onward, flowers were a theme of sustained interest for Twachtman. Painting blossoms and petals with strokes that approximate their colors and movement, he conveyed the essence of his subjects rather than their botanical detail. In 1891 a reviewer for the New York Times wrote "The flower pieces in pastel which seem at first hardly more than a ghost of the blossoms, assume outline and consistency." This pastel was notably included in the 1928 exhibition of Twachtman's works at Milch Galleries, which consisted of many works from the artist's estate. C The Spanierman Gallery, LLC
