Girl with a Butterfly
Alternative Title:
Girl with a Butterfly
Description: This fleeting moment of reverie, as a delicate butterfly perches for a few seconds on a womans bare shoulder, is also an analogy of how pleasure, beauty and innocence come and go before one notice their passing. The subtle arabesque of intertwined fingers that lead our gaze to her wistful glance appear so effortlessly modelled as to be undoubtedly the result of great feeling and refinement.
