Butterfly (Old World Swallowtail) is a 1899 unspecified by Stanisław Wyspiański, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting features a butterfly as its central subject. The butterfly is depicted in a simple yet elegant style, with its wings spread wide and its body facing forward. The wings are colored in shades of yellow, black, and blue, with a distinctive pattern of veins visible beneath the surface. The butterfly's body is rendered in a more subdued tone, with a subtle gradient of colors that gives the impression of depth and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet beauty, as if the artist has captured a moment of stillness in the midst of flight.
