A hand-colored lithograph on black paper features six panels in a horizontal grid, separated by rust-colored frames. Set against textured blue backgrounds, the panels depict the life cycle of a monarch butterfly. Gray human fingers reach in from the left edge of each scene. The sequence transitions from a striped caterpillar on green leaves to a hanging chrysalis and, finally, a butterfly with orange and black patterned wings.
