The Butterfly Catchers 1900 - 1908

Theodore Wendel's "The Butterfly Catchers" is a charming and serene Impressionist landscape painting from 1900-1908, depicting two young girls in a field of wildflowers. The piece features a soft palette and loose brushstrokes, capturing the fleeting beauty of nature. The girls in the foreground, with their hats and nets, add a touch of human interest, while the vast field of flowers and rolling hills create a sense of peaceful solitude. The painting showcases Wendel's mastery of light and color, evoking a warm, summery atmosphere. It currently resides in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
