This is a delicate watercolour painting of plants and a butterfly. Artist Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues made it between 1560 and 1575. Today it lives in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The sheet has two sides. One shows a bugloss flower and a painted lady butterfly. The other shows a wild pansy. These plants were painted by hand over 400 years ago. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
