Which 1932 Georgia O’Keeffe painting features a white jimson weed flower against a dark background?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s 1932 painting featuring a white jimson weed flower is Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1.

The painting presents a large, trumpet-shaped white flower against a dark background. O’Keeffe magnified flowers so viewers had to confront their structures at close range, a strategy that made familiar natural subjects appear monumental and abstract.

Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 belongs to O’Keeffe’s flower paintings of the 1920s and 1930s. The plant is also called datura, a name that can cause confusion because several related species share common names. The work’s title identifies both the subject and its position within a numbered sequence.

The painting became especially famous after its sale at auction in 2014, when it set a record for the highest price paid at auction for a work by a female artist at that time. Its auction history is separate from the painting’s creation in 1932 and from O’Keeffe’s broader flower series.
