Ruit met vlinder before 1863

"Ruit met vlinder" is a small pencil drawing of a moth in flight, created by Daniël H. de Castro before 1863. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures just over 10 cm in both height and width, showcasing a detailed and delicate portrayal of the insect. The artist's attention to detail and realistic depiction of the moth's intricate wing patterns and subtle body contours bring a sense of life and movement to the drawing. "Ruit met vlinder" exemplifies de Castro's talent for capturing the beauty of nature through a meticulous and understated approach.
