Black Butterfly
1949

A black and white illustration depicting a person lying in bed, gazing at a large, ornate butterfly on the ceiling. The room is dimly lit by a lamp on a bedside table, casting a soft glow on the scene. The artwork has a dreamlike quality, with the butterfly appearing as a fantastical element in an otherwise ordinary setting. The image is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner.
