The bright, vivid colours in this still life show Patrick Heron’s enthusiasm for the work of French artists such as Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse. At the time he painted this he was particularly interested in the decorative potential of surfaces. Considered one of the leading artists of his generation, Heron was a regular visitor to St Ives from the 1940s. The year after this picture was painted he bought a cottage at nearby Zennor, moving from London in April 1956.
