The Locust

No. 41 of 50 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA single locust drawn in profile with veined wings and a banded hind leg, set in a pointed arch with a lattice field and star border.

What it meansAl-A'raf (7:133) names the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs and the blood as distinct signs sent upon Pharaoh's people, yet they remained arrogant.

Where it worksPrecise and graphic; good in a study or as part of a natural-history wall.
