Archetypa studiaque patris Georgii Hoefnagelii [Part 1, Plate 8]

Jacob Hoefnagel after Joris Hoefnagel

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed moth in the center, with two lilies on either side. The artwork is monochromatic with shades of brown and black on a light background. Below the moth is a round fruit similar to a peach with a dragonfly perched on it. At the bottom left, there is a spider near a beetle, and on the right side, several bugs are arranged, including a caterpillar and a snail on a pea pod. All elements are evenly spaced across the image, creating a balanced composition.
