## Commentary

The artist&#39;s father, Frederick Ruysch, was a celebrated professor of botany and anatomy, his wunderkammern a popular destination for visiting dignitaries. Access to such curiosity cabinets of preserved specimens would have enabled careful examination of insects and moths which Rachel Ruysch executes with scientific precision in paintings such as this one.
