Marbled Fritillary Butterfly

Neat, complex and vibrant, that's how I see this beauty of a butterfly. Painted a series of magical Butterflies. Marbled Fritillary caterpillars feed on bramble so can be found around hedgerow and woodland edges in mainland Europe.

Marbled Fritillary Butterfly  is painted in oils on a gessoed board, mounted on moccasin and presented in a  lime washed frame. The artwork measures 8.5cm square  and total dimensions including framing are 22cm square.
