Moody, intriguing and beautifully detailed, this Death’s-head hawkmoth print is for those who like their décor with a little drama. Taken from an antique entomology illustration, the moth’s striking skull-like marking and velvety wings are rendered in exquisite detail, giving the piece both scientific interest and a distinctly gothic mood. Fans of dark academia, curiosities and iconic films like The Silence of the Lambs will recognise the Death’s-head moth as a symbol with a mysterious, slightly macabre edge, making this an especially compelling choice for a study, hallway, bedroom or gallery wall.
This is an edited reproduction made from antique/public domain source imagery.
Print quality
Printed on beautifully textured 300gsm cotton rag paper using archival pigment inks, this reproduction has a crisp, characterful finish that suits antique entomology artwork especially well. The heavyweight fine art paper gives the image depth and presence, while the archival inks help preserve its rich tones, fine detail and softly dramatic printed character.
