The
flowers, rose, daffodils and cyclamen are boldly painted to cover most
of the screen. Although somewhat faded we can still see the veining on
the leaves and the expertly shaded blooms.
The
handle is turned and carved in an ambitious pattern, culminating in a
gilded lyre; a touch of neoclassicism to balance the exuberance of the
flora.
