About this work
A dark, nocturnal scene shows several pale butterflies with orange and brown markings fluttering around a leafy plant that rises from mossy ground. A serpent coils at the base of the stem with its head raised toward the right, while a weathered stone fragment sits at the left edge. The painting is attributed to Christiaen Striep and held by the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm.
