This engraving is part of a collection of 82 works. They all stem from the meticulous sketches and notes Merian meticulously compiled during her two years in Suriname, a Dutch colony in South America. Her time there was dedicated to studying insects and animals in their natural environment, and she also created detailed records of the region's native plants.

Pioneering naturalist and artist Anna Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) defied expectations. Born in Germany, she defied social norms to study insects and plants. Her vibrantly illustrated books, depicting metamorphosis and ecological relationships, captured the essence of the natural world. Merian's work not only documented insects but also established her as a leading scientific illustrator of her time.
