Titled "A Caterpillar and Two Moths on a Branch and Two Butterflies" this artwork captures the essence of metamorphosis in the early to mid-18th century.

The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes bring life to each creature, highlighting their unique characteristics. In this composition, we witness the stages of an insect's life cycle unfold before our eyes. A caterpillar gracefully clings onto a branch while two moths rest nearby, their wings adorned with mesmerizing patterns.
