Lady With Butterflies captures a quiet moment indoors while the outside world seems determined to find its way in. Butterflies and leaves blow through the open window as the wind catches the shade cord, surrounding the seated woman with movement. Her legs and feet suggest their own physical difficulties, while the unopened irises beside her remain still, creating a counterpoint to everything swirling around her.
