"Vlinder" is a woodcut by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, dating from around 1901-1905. The artwork, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a butterfly in intricate detail, showcasing de Graag's mastery of the woodcut medium. The simplicity of the design and the precise lines of the butterfly's wings create a sense of delicate beauty, typical of de Graag's artistic style. The piece, measuring just 58mm by 95mm, emphasizes the artist's keen eye for detail and her ability to capture the essence of her subject in a small format.
