Two small yellow moths attend it, one in flight at upper left and one perched on the bloom. Green caterpillars with black heads work into the buds below, an amber pupa clings to a stalk at right, and toothed leaves spread at lower right. On the main bloom Merian fixed a real dried larva; the work is watercolour and gouache on vellum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: watercolour and gouache over transfer print on vellum, after 1679, Städel Museum, Frankfurt.\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\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
