During the First World War, Hunter lived on his Uncle's farm at Millburn, Larkhill. The still lifes from this period often combine humble, every day objects: a vase of flowers, a wine glass, with other more luxurious items, such as the tasselled fan. Generally, the composition was set against a black backdrop, reflecting Hunter's interest in the Old Masters.
