The Jack-knifefish, Equetus lanceolatus, with its distinctive markings, swims gracefully alongside the majestic oarfish, Regalecus glesne, known for its long ribbon-like body. The vibrant colors of the rock beauty angelfish, Holacanthus tricolor, add a pop of color to the composition.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this illustration, capturing the essence of these fascinating underwater creatures with precision and artistry. Each fish is depicted with such lifelike accuracy that you can almost imagine them swimming right off the page.
