This is a drawing of an ornate entomological illustration centered around a flea. The central subject features a flea with a segmented body, legs, and antennae, placed within a diamond-shaped frame. Encasing this central diamond is an elaborate border of floral motifs and acanthus-like leaves, with stylized human-like faces at the corners. The artwork is in sepia tone, giving it a vintage appearance. The design is symmetrical.
