Original Pastel Drawing of Calla Lilies by Ruth Dillon
This is an original art piece depicting three Calla Lilies, executed in a pastel medium on a dark background. The composition features two fully bloomed orange and yellow lilies with a third bud, set against large, stylized green leaves with light green veining. The artwork is signed 'Ruth Dillon' in the lower right corner and is also inscribed on the light-colored matting with 'Callas' on the left and a second signature 'Ruth Dillon' on the right. The piece is housed in a simple, honey-toned rectangular wooden frame under glass. The frame has mitered corners and visible wood grain. The matting appears to be a neutral cream or beige tone, showing some slight discoloration and age-related yellowing near the bottom edges. There is a prominent 'Goodwill' price sticker in the bottom right corner of the glass. The style appears to be mid-20th-century decorative art, demonstrating a competent use of color blending and botanical illustration technique. The dark, plum-colored background provides a strong contrast that makes the floral colors appear vibrant and saturated. No significant damage to the paper is visible through the glass, though the frame shows light surface wear commensurate with age.
