Description
A butterfly specimen rendered in watercolor displays symmetrical wings of deep black and bright orange with distinctive white patches on the upper wings, centered against a pale cream ground. The scientific precision of the composition and hand-lettered label below evoke the aesthetic of 19th-century natural history illustration, combining scientific documentation with artistic delicacy. At home in a naturalist's study or a gallery-like bedroom corner. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
