Each fish is meticulously detailed in this 19th-century illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History.
The Ballan wrasse with its distinctive markings and colors, the cuckoo wrasse with its striking blue and orange hues, and the Brazilian wrasse with its unique patterns all come to life in this exquisite print. The delicate handcolouring adds depth and dimension to each fish, making them appear almost lifelike.
David's skilled execution of Pretre's original illustration truly showcases the artistry of natural history engravings from this era. The intricate details of each scale and fin are a testament to the dedication and precision required for such work.
