Crab Botanical Insect Flower Illustration Square Sticker

Hoefnagel's Medieval illumination of a manuscript - a crab, botanicals, butterfly, and flower watercolor sketch painting - Our crab and botanical still life sketch drawing is based on a crab illustration from the medieval manuscript, "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or "Model book of Calligraphy", this vintage crab and botanicals image shows a beautifully drawn crab, and a butterfly sitting on top of the crab. The two are sitting around a sketchpad full of flowers, a butterfly, insects, and a pear. The botanical sketchbook drawing is beautifully rendered in pen and ink and watercolor. The beautiful crab and botanicals illustration was created by medieval nature illustrator Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish and Hungarian, Austria) in the late 1500s.
