Notes |
The attribution was made by Ella Reitsma. The composition is very similar to another drawing of a wallflower by Herolt, in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig. The butterfly is a South American member of the Lycaenidae family. Its unusual but dramatic pose, in which it appears to dive towards the flower, is uncharacteristic of Herolt's mother Maria Sibylla Merian, with whom she worked very closely. Lit: E. Reitsma, 'Maria Sibylla Merian & Daughters: Women of Art and Science', Amsterdam and Los Angeles, 2008, p.147, fig.110, p.259 |

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. ![]() |
