Lilies is a 1866 oil by Albert Joseph Moore, a British Romanticism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting features a serene nude woman reclining on a couch, surrounded by a tranquil atmosphere. Her right arm is bent, resting on her head, while her left arm is extended, with her hand touching the couch. The couch is adorned with a white sheet and a pink and white blanket, which also covers the woman's body. A blue and white vase with lilies sits on the floor to the right of the couch. The woman's pose exudes relaxation, and the overall mood of the painting is one of calmness. The use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes adds to the serene atmosphere.
