"Death of a Butterfly" is a painting completed between 1905-10 by Evelyn De Morgan, a prominent painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement in the later 19th and early 20th centuries. This work while not as well-known as some of De Morgan's other pieces, exhibits her signature fusion of spiritual and feminist themes with an aesthetic deeply influenced by Renaissance and ancient art.

The painting visually represents a poignant moment: a winged woman, presumably symbolizing a butterfly, lays lifeless in a verdant yet darkened forest, her vibrant orange wings standing in stark contrast to the deep and blues around. Surrounded by smaller, live butterflies, the image is melancholic and evokes a sense of the transient beauty of life.

De Morgan, noted for her symbol-laden compositions, possibly uses this as an allegorical tale, emphasizing universal themes of mortality, rebirth, and the fragile, ephemeral nature of beauty and life. In the context of her broader oeuvre, the painting also resonates with her constant exploration of women's roles and their inner worlds.

As with many of De Morgan's works, the provenance of "Death of a Butterfly" is uncertain; records show it was purchased directly from the artist's studio and has remained private collections since. The painting currently resides privately, away from public view.
