The Florist
1893
Surrounded by a chaotic, beautiful explosion of spring blooms, a young woman in a wide-brimmed straw hat pauses her work to look directly at us. She holds a vibrant red tulip and a striped yellow one, seemingly deciding where they belong among the overflowing blue-and-white Delftware vases. Edgar Bundy captures the sheer abundance of a Victorian florist's shop in 1893, rendering delicate lace sleeves and fragile petals in meticulous detail. It feels like stepping into a sunlit London flower stall, where the scent of fresh lilacs and irises almost jumps off the canvas.
