This painting is entitled "Calla Lily on Grey" and was painted by Georgia O'Keefe in 1928.
I have always loved Georgia O'Keefe's work, especially her more simplistic paintings. The limited color palette allows more attention to be paid to the subtle shading on both the flower and the draping. There has often been speculation that O'Keefe was using flowers to subtly communicate a highly sexual message but I believe she was simply painting beautiful flowers as she saw them; and since flowers are a sex organ, the correlation drew itself.
