This coloured engraving, titled "Water Beetles, 1833-39" showcases the intricate beauty of nature's underwater creatures. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, this print is a part of a private collection and was featured in the publication "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" by Felix Edouard Guérin-Méneville. The artwork depicts various species of water beetles with remarkable attention to detail. The vibrant colors bring these tiny creatures to life, highlighting their unique patterns and characteristics. From delicate wings to intricately designed bodies, each beetle is meticulously rendered in this stunning illustration.
