About this work
This beetle is shown with its elytra closed into a heart-shaped shield tapering to a point at the base, beneath a teal-blue thorax and a pale, dotted head. Slender gold-toned antennae curve outward and cream-and-gold legs with small clawed feet spread to either side, set against a flat black ground with no other elements.
The wing covers are painted with clusters of small blue flowers with gold-flecked centres scattered across a white ground, echoing hand-painted porcelain decoration. Smooth, controlled brushwork on the wings contrasts with drier, textured strokes on the legs and antennae, and the surrounding darkness makes the pale, patterned shell appear to glow.
