A vertically oriented etching in black ink with fine, light lines depicts a dense thicket of heart-shaped leaves and dotted flowers. Dozens of dark-bodied, winged insects swarm through the foliage. Crisscrossing stems fill the central rectangular composition, where the deep ink of the insects contrasts against the delicate linework. Wide, off-white margins with uneven, deckled edges surround the centered print, emphasizing the delicate interplay between the swarming insects and intricate plants.
