A difficult one, I suppose that it could be either but I do not know the correct version. If I had to choose it would be your version.

In the Schlossmuseum in Weimar last week I noticed that one of the English versions of the explanation boards in each room referred to a couple of paintings as still lives. My initial reaction was that in this instance the plural should be still-lifes. Any views?
