Created as a study for a 1920s Kuppenheimer clothing advertisement, the painting portrays a fashionably-dressed couple kneeling in an intimate embrace, surrounded by large, decorative butterfly wings. The man is dressed in a formal dark suit, while the woman wears an ornate dress adorned with intricate patterns. The composition is set against a dark background scattered with flower petals, evoking a romantic, fantastical mood. The butterfly wings encircle the couple, lending an air of transformation and ethereal beauty to the scene.
