A hand-painted celebration of the striking beauty of the Long-tailed Skipper Butterfly (Urbanus proteus). This artwork captures the distinctive features that make this species so captivating — from its soft brown wings with subtle iridescent blue tones to the two elegant tails extending from the hindwings.
Originally hand-painted and professionally printed from a high-resolution scan, this piece highlights the butterfly’s expressive eyes and graceful form while maintaining a gentle, natural feel. With a wingspan of up to 6cm, the Long-tailed Skipper is a showy species found throughout tropical and subtropical South America.
Designed to add a sense of calm and curiosity, this print suits living rooms, bedrooms, studios, nurseries, or anywhere that celebrates nature and handmade art. It also makes a thoughtful gift for butterfly lovers, nature enthusiasts, and collectors of the Insect Series.
