Peacock Butterfly Gouache Painting

An original unframed artwork of a Peacock Butterfly by Amanda Gosse.

The Peacock Butterfly, scientific name Aglais io, is named as such because of the spectacular eye-like spots on its wings. Its markings, evolved to startle or confuse predators, make it one of the most easily identifiable and recognised species.

A4 — 20cm x 29.7cm.
See image 3 for actual detail, images 1 and 2 are low-resolution.
