Butterfly in Victorian London: An Oil Painting

An exquisitely detailed oil painting on canvas featuring a delicate butterfly with iridescent wings perched on the edge of a Victorian flower in a fog-draped London street. Amber gas-lamp glow warms wet cobblestones as horse-drawn carriages clatter by; silhouettes of gentlemen in top hats and ladies in bustle gowns move through drifting smoke and drizzle. The scene blends Romantic realism with 19th-century precision, using thick brushstrokes, rich sepia and emerald tones, and soft chiaroscuro to elevate the butterfly as a fragile jewel amid industrial urban dusk.
