EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the delicate beauty of the Sphinx of the hawkmoth, Proserpinus proserpina, as it rests gracefully on a black auricula flower, Primula auricula. The intricate details of both the insect and the flower are brought to life by artist Jacob l'Admiral in this piece from Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten (Accurate Descriptions of the Metamorphoses of Insects), published in Amsterdam in 1774.
The contrast between the dark hues of the flower and the vibrant colors of the moth create a visually striking composition that draws viewers in. The meticulous etching work highlights every vein on the wings of the moth and every petal on the flower, showcasing nature's intricate design.
As one gazes upon this print, they can't help but marvel at the wonders of our natural world and appreciate how such small creatures can possess such exquisite beauty. This artwork serves as a reminder to stop and admire even the smallest details around us, for there is always something extraordinary waiting to be discovered.
