About this work

A hand-colored lithograph presents the metamorphosis of the silkworm across several stages on a branch with teal leaves. A pale caterpillar feeds at the upper right, a brown chrysalis rests at the lower left, a silken cocoon hangs from the branch below, and a cream-winged moth with brown banding sits on a leaf at left.
