Which 1932 Georgia O’Keeffe painting was based on a white jimsonweed flower?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s 1932 painting based on a white jimsonweed flower is Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1.

The painting presents a single white flower at enormous scale, isolating its trumpet-shaped petals against a dark background. O’Keeffe frequently enlarged flowers so that viewers had to confront their structures and colors rather than glance past them as ordinary botanical details. The work therefore exemplifies her method of close observation combined with radical cropping and enlargement.

Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 is different from O’Keeffe’s iris and canna paintings, although all belong to her broader flower imagery. The title identifies both the plant and the work’s position in a series. The painting also became widely known because it achieved a record auction price for a female artist’s artwork when it was sold at Sotheby’s in 2014.
