Anna Ticho, born in 1894, was an Israeli painter known for her landscape and animal paintings. Inspired by the light and contrasting landscapes of Jerusalem, her later homeland, Ticho's artistic work focused on capturing the beauty of the natural world. She bequeathed a significant portion of her artwork to the Jerusalem Museum, where many of her drawings and watercolors are now displayed. The floral still life depicted in the text likely originates from Ticho's later work.
