frame: 16.75 in; sight: 9.25 in. diameter; The "Butterfly Girl" by Gaston Marechaux (French, 1872-1936) is a stunning example of Art Nouveau illustration. This piece, executed in ink and gouache on paper, depicts a lively young fairy perched atop roses and encircled in gold paint. Marechaux's attention to detail and his ability to infuse the work with a sense of whimsical beauty are evident. Signed in the lower right, the artwork is matted behind glass and framed, measuring 9 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches for the image and 14 3/4 x 14 3/4 inches for the frame. This illustration is a testament to Marechaux's skill in capturing the ethereal and delicate nature of his subjects, making it a cherished addition to any collection of Art Nouveau pieces.
