An exceptionally rare and intimate composition, with only one recorded auction appearance in the past 30 years. Number 3 of the edition is held in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, affirming its institutional recognition. Its small scale and delicacy distinguish it from Preston’s larger floral woodcuts, appealing to connoisseurs of her more elusive works.
