Untitled (Woman with Butterfly Wing)

Description

In addition to depicting single feminine figures, Rowe also imaged the interactions between women. With her short haircut, made-up face, and coy expression, the woman in profile seems more mature, while the figure facing forward wears an outfit reminiscent of a school uniform. The singular butterfly wing that alights between them and the sensual form that appears to spray water on it suggest a bath or some kind of rite of passage involving beautification and self-care that may be making the young girl nervous.
