Flint captures in soft and pastel tones a female figure arranging a bouquet in an opulent domestic scene. She appears both noble and delicate, subordinate to her surroundings. The busy assortment of furniture and décor dominate the lower register of the composition, with a silk brocade canapé, tables covered in white tablecloths and an upright piano leaning against the wall at right. An elaborately carved frame towers above the foreground, stretching all the way to the white vaulted ceiling. As in the other two works, Flint’s technical mastery is on full display, using granulating washes to render different textures and accurately represent the female form.
