Peonies

Sales catalogues record a painting with this title offered at the Kreimer & Brother Co. in Cincinnati in 1935.  Perhaps that was this work. However, there are three known, similarly sized still lifes with peonies, so it is impossible to know which is which without further study. (see related images, #s 290 and 724)
