A small, expressive study of a swallowtail in motion, set against a luminous pink ground. Loose, gestural brushwork brings the butterfly to life—more a feeling than a form—capturing its fleeting presence and quiet vitality. The contrast between bold color and delicate subject gives the piece a light, joyful energy.
