This print showcases the intricate artwork of Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian artist from Prague who later settled in London. Titled "Four Caterpillars Snail 1646 Etching first state" this etching plate measures approximately 3 1/8 by 4 5/8 inches (117 cm) and is part of the Liszt Collection curated by Artokoloro. In this piece, Hollar skillfully captures the essence of nature's beauty through his meticulous attention to detail. The focal point of the image is four plump caterpillars crawling on a leafy surface, their patterned skin adding an element of visual interest. One can almost feel their soft bodies as they move gracefully across the frame.

These elements add depth and texture to his work, making it truly come alive. This print serves as a testament to Hollar's artistic prowess and provides viewers with a glimpse into nature's wonders.
