"Butterfly (second version)" is a small-scale painting by Albert Bierstadt created in 1900. The artwork depicts a butterfly with vibrant, multi-colored wings in a realistic, detailed style. Bierstadt, known for his landscape paintings of the American West, produced this piece as a departure from his usual subject matter. The signature "Albert Bierstadt, May 21, 1900" appears in the lower right corner, providing further context for this intimate study of nature.
