Vlinder op een bloem 1892 - 1951

"Vlinder op een bloem" (Butterfly on a Flower) is a woodcut created by Dutch artist Janus de Winter between 1892 and 1951. The artwork depicts a single butterfly perched on a blossoming flower, rendered in stark black and white against a pale background. The use of simple lines and bold outlines emphasizes the graphic quality of the print, characteristic of the woodcut medium. The delicate, almost abstract representation of the natural world reflects de Winter's mastery of this art form, revealing his interest in the essence of nature rather than its photographic realism.
