This is a detailed botanical illustration of a grape vine with its life cycle stages depicted. The vine is rendered in shades of green and brown, with lush, lobed leaves and a cluster of ripe, pale yellow grapes. The stem and branches are a warm, golden brown. Several stages of the moth life cycle are illustrated alongside the vine. There are two moths with intricately patterned wings in shades of gray, brown, and white. There are also several caterpillars, depicted as green with brown markings, crawling on the leaves and stem. Additionally, there are two chrysalises, a deep reddish-brown color, hanging from the vine. The illustration is executed in a precise, detailed style, typical of botanical art. The background is a neutral cream color, which highlights the colors and details of the plant and insects. The artist's signature, 'J.F. Walther sculp.', is visible in the lower left corner. The overall composition is symmetrical and balanced, creating a visually appealing and informative image.
