This still life was painted circa 1919, the year Henderson's studio was completed on Camino del Monte Sol. Here, the viewer looks through the window of the studio at Picacho Peak in the distance. All the elements of the painting exhibit Henderson's facility with composition and color. Henderson was a collector of Asian antiques and figurines as well and here one is added to the arrangement. The mountains, flowers, drapery all create a symphony of color.
