A very beautiful thing with exotic flowers - amaryllis and what have you, in which the linear, striated, veinous elements have been accentuated to give a sense of texture and definition. Vivid strawberry reds, madder pink, oxide greens, lilac, cobalt and cerulean blues are interwoven with a muted ground fading to monochrome by degrees. The very background includes an impression of blown dandelion seed heads with their regular, radiating spoked forms offering an exquisite foil to the more exuberant main motif. This is a design which mixes ideas of opulence and restraint, soft and stark, of vigorous anthesis against the regular and spent, of the chromatic and achromatic. Rather poetic and inspired. With a three button cuff.
