A vintage framed reproduction of a butterfly study associated with French naturalist Charles d’Orbigny’s Dictionnaire universel d’histoire naturelle, first published in the 19th century. Three butterflies are illustrated in warm shades of rust, orange, yellow, and black against an antiqued ground. Presented under glass in a richly mottled wood-tone frame with gilt detailing, the slender proportions make it especially well suited to a gallery wall or narrow architectural space.
