A caterpillar with long pinkish bristles arches along the top shoot, a spiny orange-and-black caterpillar climbs at lower right, and a large brown furry cocoon sits at the centre with a smaller one below. A brown moth with blue-ringed eyespots flies at upper left and a pink-and-gold moth at right. The plant name Maccai is engraved beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717) was a German-born naturalist and artist from Frankfurt, the daughter of the engraver Matthäus Merian, trained by her stepfather, the still-life painter Jacob Marrel. In Nuremberg she published a flower book and, from 1679, a study of caterpillars that showed each insect through its metamorphosis on the plant it fed on. In 1699, at fifty-two, she sailed with her daughter Dorothea to Suriname, and in 1705 published Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium, with 60 engraved plates after her watercolours. Her work set a new standard of accuracy for scientific illustration. It is held by the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
