Butterfly Painting For Sale on 1stDibs

Surely you’ll find the exact butterfly painting you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. You can easily find an example made in the Abstract style, while we also have 34 Abstract versions to choose from as well. If you’re looking for a butterfly painting from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find at least one that dates back to the 18th Century while another version may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. When looking for the right butterfly painting for your space, you can search on 1stDibs by color — popular works were created in bold and neutral palettes with elements of brown, gray, beige and blue. There have been many interesting butterfly painting examples over the years, but those made by Hunt Slonem, Sara Dudman, Alexandru Rădvan, Keng Wai Lee and Apostolos Chantzaras are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paint, oil paint and fabric. A large butterfly painting can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller butterfly painting, measuring 2.76 high and 3.55 wide, may better suit your needs.

How Much is a Butterfly Painting?

The price for an artwork of this kind can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — a butterfly painting in our inventory may begin at $346 and can go as high as $477,328, while the average can fetch as much as $4,500.
