"Four butterflies" is a delicate drawing by Herman Henstenburgh, a Dutch artist born in 1667 and died in 1726. This artwork depicts four butterflies with meticulous detail, showcasing Henstenburgh's mastery of naturalism. The butterflies are rendered in a variety of colors, including browns, blacks, and whites, against a simple off-white background. This composition highlights the beauty of nature and the intricacy of the butterflies’ wings. The artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a prime example of 18th-century Dutch art, and Henstenburgh’s talent for capturing the essence of nature in his drawings.
