The image shows a butterfly with large circular patterns on its wings at the center. The image is a monochromatic engraving with shades of black and white. There are flowers to the left of the butterfly, and an assortment of insects like a beetle, a moth, and a fly above it. A seahorse and another butterfly are also visible close to the bottom. The objects are distributed around the central butterfly, with some flowers and insects at the corners and edges of the image.
