Artist: Gerda Mans, a South African artist active in the late 20th century. Her work frequently appears in South African auction houses (like 5th Avenue Auctioneers) and is known for its traditional, soft-focus approach to nature and still life.
​Medium: Oil on board (or canvas on board). The texture visible in the close-up of the signature suggests a fine-grain surface common in mid-to-late century floral works.
​Subject: A still life of white daisies (likely Cosmos or Shashta daisies) against a muted, impressionistic background of pinks and greens.
​Dimensions: 37cm x 37cm
​Provenance: Signed and dated '81 (1981) in the lower right corner. This confirms it was produced during the peak of her popularity in South Africa.
​Frame Condition: The painting is housed in a period-appropriate double-frame (a linen/fabric liner with a gilt or silvered outer moulding). Based on the images, the frame appears to be in good vintage condition, though there is some light wear typical for its age.
