This painting shows ten insects, including a blue fly, in detailed images. The insects are drawn with precision, and some have flowers or leaves near them. The artist also used gold paint to add some shine to the pictures, which makes them stand out. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Hoefnagel, Joris.
