About this work
A young woman with long loose hair sits facing forward, cradling a wooden mandolin against her body and plucking the strings with one hand while fretting the neck with the other; a blue ribbon is tied at the neck joint. Around her, more than a dozen butterflies in blue, white, yellow and orange hover against a flat black backdrop.
The dark ground isolates the pale, evenly lit body and warm wood tones of the instrument, while the butterflies are picked out in crisp, saturated color with fine wing detail. Brushwork on the figure is smooth and blended, contrasted with the flatter butterflies, producing a still, contemplative mood centered on a single musician rather than a lesson.
