Summary
A page of watercolours of a piece of Fennel with a Caterpillar and its Chrysalis, a Sow-bread leaf with a caterpillar beside it, a Cray-fish, a Dragon-fly, a Wasp, two Parrots, two Dogs and a Hawk in miniature.
Parrots had been brought to Europe from the New World, and here Marshal twice depicts a blue and yellow macaw. The southern hawker dragonfly, still common in southern England, was probably studied from a live insect, as the vivid eye colour quickly fades when the insect dies. The red colouring of the crayfish, however, points to Marshal’s use of a cooked specimen.
Provenance: Presented to George IV
