A still life by British artist Mary Fedden, whose long and prolific career spanned much of the 20th century. Known for her distinctive still-life and landscape paintings, Fedden developed a style that combined elements of modernism with a strong sense of narrative and personal symbolism. Her compositions often draw from domestic interiors, gardens, and everyday objects, rendered with bold colour, flattened perspective, and formal clarity.
This work depicts a vase of stylised roses on a windowsill, framed by curtain folds and a landscape beyond. The arrangement reflects Fedden’s characteristic interest in intimate settings and her enduring ability to balance decorative simplicity with emotional resonance.
Fedden studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and later became the first female tutor in the Painting School at the Royal College of Art. Her work has been widely exhibited and collected in the UK and internationally.
