Archetypa studiaque patris Georgii Hoefnagelii [Part 3, Plate 10]
The image features an oversized halved fruit with leaves at the bottom left, a central ornate flower with curling petals, and a large grasshopper on the right. The color palette is primarily black and white, with varying shades of grey. Positioned in the middle is the elaborate flower, while the grasshopper is to the right. The fruit is in the lower left, and a toad with distinct markings is near the flower's stem. Various insects, including bees, a beetle, and a dragonfly, as well as different plants and flowers, are scattered throughout. A Latin inscription is at the top, and "MACARONEA" is below the central objects with more Latin text.
