Untitled [Two Lilies] 19th-20th century

This untitled work by American artist William B. Post, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, features two lilies floating on a calm body of water. The image is a delicate depiction of nature, with the lilies rendered in a simplified, almost abstract style. The subdued tones and soft focus create a sense of tranquility, drawing the viewer into the peaceful scene. The piece, currently located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies Post's mastery of the art of botanical illustration.
