About the piece
Created by American master Winslow Homer in 1872, this tranquil oil painting depicts a young woman seated in a garden. Holding a folding fan, she gazes down at a butterfly that has alighted on her dress, a scene that exemplifies the artist's ability to capture delicate interactions between humanity and nature in soft, dappled light.
