Forbidden Letter – Salamis parhassus (22x12cm)

A dramatic and deeply romantic composition featuring a beautifully preserved Salamis parhassus, its soft ivory and blush-toned wings unfolding over aged script like a secret never meant to be read aloud.

Set within a 22x12cm vintage black wooden shadow frame, the piece carries a darker, more intimate elegance. Torn antique book pages form a textured backdrop, layered beneath a silver-toned ornamental cross that anchors the composition with quiet symbolism. Dried rosebuds and delicate ivory blossoms frame the butterfly above and below, adding softness to the otherwise moody setting.
