The artistʼs inscription on the verso side of this work reads:

What amazed me about being on Daufuskie at Miss Rubyʼs farm was the feeling of organized clutter. So many objects that I looked at, and I did 6[?] subjects on my brief visit, trying to eliminate all that was unnecessary to my purpose. Not enough time, but I was struck by the colour of those wildflowers growing in an old enamel pot. Ruby Red, as if they were welcoming me. Ruby could not pose, but her wildflowers did.

Daufuskie Island is a five-mile long island off the coast of South Carolina, accessible from the mainland only by ferry.
