What a lovely scene. The talking parrot and the daintily singing canary - Since there is no canary bird far and wide the engraving and the poem refrs to the charming lady sitting in the middle ground playing the flute.

Merian is best known as a printmaker, botanical artist & entomologist (just a few things!), but like most 17th c. women, she was trained in needlepoint and fabric making from about age 8. Here's an early, gorgeous (!!!) hand-coloured engraving from the 1670s
