Of the many highly skilled natural history artists working in late 17th-century Holland, Rochus van Veen was one of the more individual in his approach to his subject, often combining insects and fungi in rather surprising ways. Another example of this is the watercolour of A Dragonfly and a Toadstool, in the Abrams Collection (see Dutch Drawings from the Abrams Collection, exhibition catalogue, Wellesley College Museum, Wellesley, Massachusetts, et al, 1969, no. 39, reproduced). Another member of the artist's family, Gerardus van Veen (probably his brother), specialised in fish.
