Black and white oil. Not signed or dated. A newspaper article from 1933 describes a painting of a “young man holding a strange butterfly” done in black and white and “swirly” which very much describes this painting.
This painting is still out in the wild and is in the loving care of Mediumistic Art in London, England. Mediumistic Art “champions the practitioners of spirit inspired art and is interested in gathering material on the history of this neglected genre.” Learn more at mediumisticart.com.
