This is a brilliant and charming cover concept, with an attractive young
woman staring at a beautiful butterfly caught in the netting of her
hat. The butterfly's yellow and red colors are echoed in the female
subject's scarf, lips, and hair. Fabry depicts a woman staring at a
marvelous symbol of herself, which in turn reaffirms the wonder of her
own beauty. He executes this mystical work in his signature loose,
stylized style. Work is matted but unframed, signed lower right.
