Vase of Summer Flowers before a Mirror

Vanessa Bell has been considered an important artist in England since before World War I. Recently, she has been rediscovered by an international audience; not as the painter-sister of Virginia Woolf, or as the wife of art critic Clive Bell, but as the central figure of "Bloomsbury", and a painter who made an important contribution to the transformation of European art in the first half of the 20th century.

According to Virginia Nicholson, the vase is by her father, Quentin Bell, a well-known potter and son of Vanessa Bell.
