About the piece
Painted in 1889 by John Lavery, this delightful study depicts artist Edward Arthur Walton and his fiancée Helen Law in costume as Hokusai and a butterfly. The work showcases Lavery's mastery of the 'Glasgow Boy' style, with its loose, fluid brushstrokes and a sophisticated, airy composition that balances the expressive figures against a minimalist unadorned canvas.
