A vibrant array of strawberries is scattered across a dark backdrop, each fruit rendered in bold, juicy red hues with hints of green for the leaves and seeds. The bright strawberries contrast sharply against the deep background, making them pop with visual intensity. The simple, expressive brushstrokes capture the essence of freshness and abundance. This delightful artwork brings a lively and whimsical touch, perfect for adding a splash of mid-century charm and fruity exuberance to any space.

The majority of Vera's original artwork is unsigned and undated. This absence of her signature is largely due to her original artwork being used in textile and houseware designs, where her trademarked signature was later added. Typically, her original artwork was named after being incorporated into a master strike off. In some instances, the date of the piece was added to the back; however, this date may signify when the artwork was trademarked or presented to a customer. Some of her original pieces include notes on the back, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of The Vera Company.
