What I find interesting here is that there is a double meaning to this work. The title tells us that the subject of the piece is a 'Wanderer Amidst Ruins.' When we look at the image our instinct is to see the child in the role of the Wanderer. However, it seems to me that the child is in fact the observer and that the butterfly is the Wanderer. That the butterfly is the only part of the piece that is in colour supports this idea. I think the colour is meant to reiterate the opposing symbolism of the piece; that the vibrant, living butterfly is found amongst the long dead forgotten ruins.
Nice work.
