Original framed watercolour and gouache painting depicting a female Cabbage White butterfly resting on foliage, painted by Kent artist June E. Bayley. Executed in fine detail with soft washes, crisp white gouache highlights, and precise pencil detailing on textured paper. Housed in a heavy vintage-style gilt frame with a dark mottled inner panel and silver filigree trim. Signed J.BAYLEY to the lower front corner, with handwritten title 'CABBAGE' WHITE ♀ and full studio signature to the backing board alongside printed labels confirming origin from Seaton Cottage, Sandwich, Kent.
Frame measures 14 cm x 14 cm with an inner window of 8 cm x 8 cm.
Condition is good, with some light chipping to the outer top gold edge of the frame moulding as shown in photos, along with light age-appropriate wear to the backing tape that does not impact display.
This small natural history study would suit cottagecore decor, traditional gallery walls, or country house interiors.
