Citrus and Butterfly (2024)Oil painting by Natalia Shaykina

This painting presents a classic still life composition, featuring a variety of fruits, a wine glass, and a butterfly, all arranged on a tabletop covered with a draped green fabric. The arrangement is rich and detailed, showcasing grapes, a halved orange with its peel cascading down, a bowl of red berries or cherries, an oyster shell, and a shrimp, suggesting a mix of sweet and savory elements.

The composition is dynamic, with the objects arranged in a way that draws the eye across the canvas, from the bright orange peel in the foreground to the delicate butterfly perched on a grape leaf in the upper part of the painting. The wine glass, partially visible in the background, adds a touch of elegance to the scene.

The artist has used a realistic style with attention to detail, capturing the textures of the fruits, the fabric, and the butterfly's wings. The colors are rich and warm, creating a visually appealing and inviting composition.
