Which 1936 Georgia O'Keeffe painting depicts a poisonous white flower?

Jimson Weed, also known as Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1, is Georgia O'Keeffe’s 1936 painting of a large white jimson weed flower.

O'Keeffe repeatedly painted flowers at an enlarged scale, encouraging viewers to notice structures that might otherwise be overlooked. Jimson weed, scientifically associated with Datura, is a poisonous plant, but the painting’s subject is presented as a monumental, carefully observed bloom rather than as a warning illustration.

The work became especially famous after it sold at auction in 2014 for $44.4 million, including fees. That sale made it the most expensive painting by a female artist at the time, though later auction records surpassed it.

It should not be confused with O'Keeffe’s numerous paintings of irises, cannas, or other white flowers. The distinctive title identifies the plant and separates this work from her many similarly enlarged floral compositions.
