Summary

Description
English: This painting is by Albert Bierstadt, who was among the Hudson River School artists of the 19th century. Bierstadt was renowned for his depictions of the American West; however, this painting strays from Bierstadt's usual romantic landscapes, several of which are also in the White House Collection. The painting is of a butterfly, created by brushing pigments on a piece of paper, folding the paper, and then stroking a palette knife on the other side of the fold. A bright, colorful butterfly takes shape when unfolded and with drawn antennae. Bierstadt made numerous, quick paintings like this butterfly for acquaintances he met. Each of his butterfly paintings are unique due to how they were created.
