Notes |
This is one of very few works signed by Maria Sibylla Merian’s eldest daughter, Johanna Herolt. Her drawing style and sense of composition is very similar to her that of her mother, with whom she worked closely on the publication of the Surinam insect book in 1705. There are variations on the composition of this drawing in the Royal Collection, WIndsor Castle and in the Fondation Custodia, Paris. Johanna married in 1692 a Dutch merchant, Jacob Hendrik Herolt, who traded with Surinam. She did not make the journey in 1699 with her mother and sister to Surinam, but moved there in 1711 with her husband, who became director of an orphanage in Paramaribo. Lit: E. Reitsma 'Maria Sibylla Merian & Daughters: Women of Art and Science', Amsterdam and Los Angeles, 2008, pp. 163 and 259, fig.124. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
