This portrait, by Belgian artist Alfred Stevens, showcases a woman in a luxurious, floral-patterned robe, gazing upwards as a butterfly flutters above her. The painting, likely a private commission, is a striking example of Stevens' focus on capturing the elegance and refinement of his subjects. The soft, muted colors, particularly the delicate shades of blue and gold, contribute to the overall sense of tranquility and refinement. The depiction of the woman's graceful pose and the ethereal butterfly adds to the charm of this piece, emphasizing a sense of delicate beauty.
