- What the image shows
- A watercolour painting on pale paper of a large moth with broad, wing-like brown and tan forewings marked with eye-spots, seen partly from above and partly from the side. Its reddish-pink striped body and feathery antennae are visible as it rests on a thin bare twig that runs diagonally across the lower part of the sheet. Handwritten French inscription in cursive along the bottom right reads "Papillon peint d'après nature" with "H.C." and a date, and the image is a scientific-style natural history illustration.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
