Charming and evocative limited edition art print by C. Butterfield (W. Courtland Butterfield), titled The Puppet Maker. This piece portrays an artisan at work painting a marionette, with finished puppets hanging in the background — a beautiful study in craftsmanship, patience, and imagination.
Rendered in warm earth tones and expressive ink lines, the composition glows with Butterfield’s characteristic balance of realism and spontaneity. His distinctive sketch-style outlines combined with transparent watercolor washes bring life and warmth to this scene of quiet creativity.
Hand signed “Butterfield” in the lower right corner and pencil-signed and numbered 91/200 in the lower left. Nicely framed and matted under glass, ready to hang.
