A smiling young woman protects her chest and smiles playfully as a group of butterflies has taken a sudden interest in her. Most of the insects are white with dark blue markings, but there is one butterfly at the right which is yellow and closer to the color of the young woman's long blond hair. The composition is framed with a single gold line ornament around it, and another gold line ornament decorates the sides. The box is made out of high quality papier mache and has a hinge at the left. The interior is red. Signed at the bottom with the name of the artist (Gomzina). A pretty scene!
