Five intricately detailed butterflies in black, cream, teal, and orange float against a pale beige ground, each specimen rendered with meticulous wing patterns and naturalistic proportions. The composition arranges the insects in a cascading, asymmetrical cluster that suggests scientific observation, executed in the refined hand-colored illustration style characteristic of early twentieth-century entomological studies. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
