Oil Painting on Canvas of Arum Lilies in a Vase: A Timeless Elegance Signed By Sandy de Villiers (1947-2023).

This unframed painting captures the timeless beauty of these elegant flowers in a delicate arrangement in a stylish vase. The artist's skilled brushstrokes bring the lilies to life, depicting their soft, creamy-white petals and gracefully curving stems with precision and detail. The contrast of light and shadows adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of depth and realism.


The arum lilies take center stage in the painting, showcasing their natural allure and enchanting charm. The absence of a frame allows the viewer to appreciate the full expanse of the canvas, drawing attention to the beauty of the artwork itself.

This exquisite oil painting serves as a captivating piece of art that can enhance any interior space, evoking a sense of tranquility and sophistication. The unframed presentation lends a contemporary and modern touch to the classical subject matter, making it an ideal addition to any art collection or an eye-catching focal point in any room.

This exquisite work is in good condition.

Sandra L. du Toit was born in The Strand near Cape Town. The eldest of four children, but the only girl until she was 13, she balanced rough and tumble games with her brothers and a love of drawing and painting. She learned to love beautiful things and places very young. Spending a few years living at Rhebokskloof as a child, opened her eyes to the history and gravitas of a harsh, but beautiful world outside of her family home. This would translate later into an artist who embodied these contradictions and would, eventually, blend them to harmony, as she did with the oils on her canvases.
