Tela stampata per ricamo con perline (senza perline) «Tè al limone»

“Tea with lemon” is a homely still life: a bouquet of asters and daisies in a glass vase, a sliced lemon on a plate and a cup of tea beside it.

What the picture shows

The bouquet is full: lilac and pink asters, white daisies with yellow centres, orange marigolds and small violet flowers on long stems. It stands in a clear round vase of water, the stems visible through the glass. On the left, lemon slices and a knife lie on a green plate next to a whole lemon. On the right stands a white-and-green cup of tea, with a yellow curtain falling behind it and a grey plank wall as the background. Coverage is partial: the flowers, vase, lemons, plate and cup are worked in beads, while the wall, curtain and table stay printed on the canvas. The bouquet takes up the upper two thirds of the picture, with the table, its dishes and lemons filling the lower third. The palette is warm and lemony, with lilac and white accents in the flowers.
