I\u2019m quite tempted to make a model after this because it\u2019s so unique, I calculated it\u2019s size is about 19\u2033 tall and 22\u2033 wide. Maybe after I do the Cable Building acanthus panel I\u2019ll do this. It is a panel originally from the Mulcaster Building formerly at 1156-1162 Thirdrd Avenue at 68th Street, Manhattan, circa 1885 This delightful image of a butterfly girl sipping nectar from blossoms through a straw was modelled in low relief with great delicacy. The highly naturalistic though improbably combination of human, insect, and plant life is conceived in the spirit of an Art Nouveau fantasy. This style of decoration, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, displayed organically flowing, ofen highly stylized plant forms and found expression not only in architecture, but in design, illustration, and even dress.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/randallwolff.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/butterfly.jpg"}
