Butterflies Over Citrus Cake

A carefully rendered celebration cake dominates the composition, its dark icing spilling in glossy drips over pale tiers and a sculptural pedestal. A cascade of warm orange blossoms descends across the front, while sliced citrus and two butterflies hover above, creating a dreamlike garden motif. Most of the work is modeled in soft graphite-like tones, with selective color reserved for the flowers and subtle fruit accents, giving the otherwise restrained still life a theatrical focal point.
