Archetypa studiaque patris Georgii Hoefnagelii [Part 4, Plate 9]

Jacob Hoefnagel after Joris Hoefnagel

National Gallery of Art

The image features several large objects: a pear at the lower left, a striped snail at the bottom right, and an oversized flower in the center. The color palette is black and white, typical for an engraving, creating a high-contrast effect. Insects, such as a beetle on the pear and another on the flower, are prominent. Delicate flowers extend from the left and right edges. Latin text borders the image at the top and bottom.
