A serigraph on paper titled Lady on Red with Floating Vase by well-noted German artist Peter Max (b. 1937), . The work depicts a woman in blue next to abstracted vase against a background of reds, pinks, and aqua.

It is presented under mat and glass in a red wooden frame.

Max received his formal art education in the 1950s at the Art Students League of New York in Manhattan, where he studied under the tutelage of Frank J. Reilly. Max began his career in illustration and graphic arts by creating collage-based works using elements taken from antique photographs. His interest in astronomy led to his self-described “Cosmic ’60s” period, where his art became a symbol of the counterculture with its flamboyant use of bright rainbow colors and psychedelic images. American icons such as Bill Clinton, Taylor Swift, and Mohammed Ali appear in his works, along with other elements such as the Statue of Liberty, peace signs, butterflies, and flying saucers.
