Basket of Flowers – O'Tama Kiyohara – Palazzo dei Normanni, Palermo

Pink camellia-like flowers, leaves and blossoming twigs overflow a woven basket in this richly coloured watercolour. It is one of the works of the Japanese painter O'Tama Kiyohara (1861–1939), wife of the Palermo sculptor Vincenzo Ragusa, shown at the Royal Palace in 2020 from the Palermo museum named after the couple.
