This pair of framed mid-19th-century artworks features beautifully detailed depictions of butterflies and flowers on pith paper. The delicate medium, known for its low absorbency, causes the paint to pool on the surface, creating a striking enamel-like effect with raised pigmentation that catches the eye. Due to the fragility of pith paper, some cracking is not uncommon, particularly in pieces of this age.
 
Each artwork presents a harmonious composition of flowers, foliage, and butterflies, enclosed in elegant gold brass frames.
