A delightful pen & ink drawing of a flirty coquettish lass who goes by the name of "The Tango Girl". In all ways this appears to be an artwork by Nell Brinkley though it is inscribed "Mae Howers", not sure if this perhaps was the model? The image, style, handwriting and era all point to this being the work of Nell Brinkley.

In this inspired and tremendously fun pen and ink illustration, two Brinkley girls are seen in an all out battle to catch a bridal bouquet tossed by an unseen hand. In an ironic turn, they become so engrossed in their conflict that the flowers they are fighting for appear about to fall to the ground. The frenzied scene, with its youthful energy and sexuality suggests the ambivalence of Brinkley's new woman towards traditional marriage.

Hidden within the lush romanticism of Nell Brinkley's beautiful pen & ink comic illustration "Cupid Catching Butterflies" is a forward thinking depiction of the new flapper woman of the 1920s. In pearls and marcel wave, the bow-lipped brunette sits besides a winged cupid who is drawing heart shaped butterflies nearer and nearer to her net. The Brinkley girl, as these iconic idealized beauties came to be known, will have no trouble catching a beau in this scene.
