An asymmetrical bouquet dominates the composition of Sylvia Sleigh’s Hydrangeas. The blossoms and their patterned vase, positioned atop a polished wood chiffonier, are subtly reflected in the mirror directly behind them. The rectangular frame of the mirror parallels two edges of the canvas, in marked contrast to the organic cluster of flowers.
