Playing with Reds (Camellias) (oil on canvas, 25 1/8" x 32 7/8"), an oil painting by Emma Cheves Wilkins, was purchased by the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (later Telfair Museums) in Savannah in 1931, around the time of the work's completion. Wilkins began her training at the Telfair and then studied in Paris, France, before returning to Savannah.
