"Three butterflies" is a watercolor painting by the Dutch artist Herman Henstenburgh (1667-1726) currently on display at the Städel Museum. This meticulously detailed work showcases Henstenburgh's skill in capturing the delicate beauty of nature. The butterflies are depicted with great accuracy and realism, their wings rendered in vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The composition is simple yet elegant, with the butterflies arranged against a light background, allowing their beauty to shine through. This artwork is a testament to Henstenburgh's mastery of naturalism and his keen eye for detail.
