Which 1932 Georgia O'Keeffe painting features a large white jimsonweed flower?

Georgia O'Keeffe’s 1932 painting featuring a large white jimsonweed flower is Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1. The work presents a single trumpet-shaped blossom at a monumental scale, emphasizing its curves and tonal contrasts.

O'Keeffe often painted flowers close up. She explained that people in cities were unlikely to notice a flower’s details because flowers were small, so she decided to make them large enough to command attention. This approach became one of the most recognizable features of her art.

Jimsonweed is a poisonous plant native to parts of the Americas, and the painting’s subject was associated with O'Keeffe’s New Mexico surroundings. Its title identifies both the plant and its sequence number, distinguishing it from her many other flower paintings.

The work attracted major attention decades later when it sold for $44.4 million in 2014. That sale made it the most expensive painting by a female artist at the time, though auction records have since changed.
