Together with 'Various Spiders and Caterpillars, with a Sprig of Gooseberry'; 'Three Butterflies, a Beetle and other Insects, with a Cutting of Ragwort' and 'A Dragon-fly, two Moths, a Spider and some Beetles, with wild Strawberries'; this little picture may have formed part of a larger set of painted fronts for small drawers in a cabinet.
