Painting of grass tufts in green, yellow and violet brushstrokes, with a pink flowering shrub at upper left and small white forms on sandy ground.

Grass and Butterflies

Dense, feathery strokes of green, yellow and violet build up tufts of grass across the lower foreground, while a shrub of pink-tinged blossoms fills the upper left. Small white flowers or butterflies dot the sandy ground at lower right, and a few red accents break the greens. The loose, rhythmic brushwork gives the scene a vibrating, textured surface.

Español: Hierba y mariposas

Trazos densos y plumosos de verde, amarillo y violeta forman mechones de hierba en el primer plano inferior, mientras que un arbusto de flores con matices rosados ocupa la parte superior izquierda. Pequeñas flores blancas o mariposas salpican el suelo arenoso a la derecha inferior, y unos toques rojos rompen los verdes. La pincelada suelta y rítmica da a la escena una superficie vibrante y texturizada.

Português: Grama e borboletas

Pinceladas densas e plumosas de verde, amarelo e violeta formam tufos de grama no primeiro plano inferior, enquanto um arbusto de flores com tons rosados ocupa a parte superior esquerda. Pequenas flores brancas ou borboletas pontilham o chão arenoso à direita inferior, e alguns toques vermelhos quebram os verdes. A pincelada solta e rítmica dá à cena uma superfície vibrante e texturizada.
