Butterfly Walnut Flower Cherry Watercolor Art Espresso Cup
Old Watercolor Butterfly Still Life - This is Hoefnagel's Mediaeval illumination of a manuscript - a butterfly, walnut, and flower and cherry watercolor sketch
Our beautiful butterfly and cherry image is based on a butterfly illustration from the mediaeval manuscript, "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or "Model book of Calligraphy". This vintage butterfly and walnut image shows a beautifully drawn white butterfly, with its wings closed, sitting on the edge of a beautiful purple flower. Underneath is a walnut and a cherry. The image is beautifully rendered in pen and ink and watercolor. The beautiful butterfly and dark walnut illustration was created by mediaeval nature illustrator Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish and Hungarian, Austria) in the late 1500s.
Hoefnagel's illuminations showing botanicals and insects were what Hoefnagel was known for painting. He rendered his botanicals and insects with precision, unlike other nature artists of his day. Our butterfly and walnut illustration looks great on our gifts. The butterfly, cherry, and walnut are wonderful gifts for someone who loves beautiful vintage images and antique art.

Creator Review
I am the artist who created this image.
I have not ordered an espresso cup before.
I have ordered other zazzle mugs before and we use them constantly at home.
I love these small cups, I will be giving them as presents to everyone from now on.
The product arrived in the UK 7 days from ordering, impressive.
I ordered these cups from StrangeStore for an exhibition of my artwork and the zazzle have attracted so much attention. As a long term professional illustrator and designer I have very exacting standards, so I was very interested to see how this design would print.
It is simply brilliant.
The printing is awesome!
I have worked with top pottery companies in the UK and this printing is really very good indeed. I have no hesitation displaying this product right next to the original artwork, it's that good.

I love this espresso mug! It's big enough for a double espresso, not too heavy though and just looks cute. The sloth on it looks friendly, almost as if it was smiling and together with the white hearts on the right and left hand side, it is nothing but very cute. Also very pleased with the intensity of the colors. Colors are really good. Print is sharp.
