Nu aux papillons
This conversation is connected to Nu aux papillons.
A reclining nude in profile, drawn in rapid brown ink lines, lies against a wash of teal-green. Five butterflies float above her, each a different color: peach-pink, mint green, pale yellow, blue, and pink with brown markings. The drawing is minimal with the nude's body is outlined in a few continuous strokes, and almost no interior detail. The butterflies are more carefully rendered, with ink patterns on their wings. The teal wash fills the middle ground, with the paper left bare at the top and bottom edges. The whole composition is weightless and decorative. Watercolor and ink on paper.
