A mid-20th-century floral still life executed in oil on canvas board. The composition depicts a dense, vibrant arrangement of multi-coloured dahlias and chrysanthemums in a simple cream-coloured ceramic vase, positioned on a dark tabletop against a neutral, mottled tan background. The artist utilizes a painterly, representational style characterised by fluid, confident brushwork and areas of impasto, particularly visible in the highlights of the white floral petals. The painting is signed in the lower right corner with painted black characters reading NORMAN COX above the date 1936. The artwork is presented in a large, ornate gilt composition frame featuring scrolling foliate and shell motifs.
