This painting depicts a single nude female subject covered in butterflies while wearing a crown of flowers. She points a crooked finger at herself—either an indication of her individuality or perhaps to provide a resting place for one of the many butterflies that surround her. The figure's eyes are non-existent, with more butterflies resting in their place. The composition has an allegorical mood, while the contrast of the pinks and purples against the dark green background lends a whimsical effect.
The artist's narrative paintings explore eroticism with humor and intimacy, combining motifs and tropes from art history with contemporary aesthetics. Lamb's works overlay transgressive topics onto everyday scenes, reengaging viewers with the core experiences humans share across identities and idiosyncrasies.
