The composition has the romantic botanical quality associated with European interpretations of Asian decorative arts, while the restrained palette allows the pair to sit comfortably in a traditional interior.

At just over ten inches in diameter, they are substantial enough to hang as a pair above a small chest or console, yet equally appealing incorporated into a larger plate wall alongside blue-and-white porcelain, botanical prints, and other collected ceramics. Their existing wire hangers make them ready for display.
