Original artwork description:
The Common Swordtail (Graphium policenes) is a species of butterfly of the Papilionidae (swallowtails) family, found throughout much of tropical and Sub-Saharan Africa. The species has continuous broods during warmer months. The real butterfly has a wingspan of 55–60 mm in males and 60–65 mm in females.
Painted to a true likeness in acrylic with ink added over the paint using a calligraphy nib. These small framed paintings are a bright artistic take on real mounted taxidermy butterfly specimens, a celebration of the beauty of the natural world.
Framed in a 23mm wide classic flat pure matt black frame, made from solid pine. Crystal clear 2mm acrylic glazing. Shatter proof and 20% clearer than glass. The painting is signed on the front and comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity attached to the back of the frame. The frame is complete with an acid free double mount and backing board, which protects the artwork.
