      Myjohn23, beautiful.

      Google Lens turned up some near twins (different finish), but no provenance, e.g.:

      I'm wondering whether the artist might be Carl Kauba, based on a similar style:

      https://www.mutualart.com/Artwork/Butterfly/18F1642224CFFCCA8B8988ABF14F1AE4

      Plus, Kauba seems to have used a number of different signature styles, and as somebody observed on Facebook, the signature seems to be in reverse:

      I’ve already seen the fake ones that were from a discredited foundry in Thailand. I’m more curious about the signature, this one does not have that same stamp from the fake ones, which leads me to believe it may be an original.
