About this work

This picture shows a giant beetle walking across a beach at night. A person stands on its back, looking out at the water. The sky is dark with stars, moons, and a few shooting stars. Tall reeds sway in the background, and the whole scene feels dreamy and strange. The artist signed it in the corner, but there’s no other text to explain what’s happening. The beetle’s shell is bright red with two black spots, and the whole thing is drawn in loose, sketchy lines with watercolor. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
