Parrot fish (1872)

Frank Edward Clarke (New Zealander, 1864–1935)

A parrot fish glides through turquoise water, its scales shimmering like crushed gemstones. The delicate watercolor strokes bring its vivid hues to life—emerald greens, sapphire blues, and flashes of coral pink. Every fin and gill seems to pulse with movement, as if caught mid-swim.
Pholiota mutabilis, Pholiota marginata (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

Delicate gills fan beneath tawny caps, their edges curling like parchment. Two mushrooms stand rooted in damp earth—one golden-brown with a scaly stem, the other paler, its margin darkening as if dipped in ink. The fine lines trace every rib and shadow, revealing nature’s quiet precision.
Unidentified Fish

Luigi Balugani (Italian, 1737–1770)

A sleek, unnamed fish glides through the page, its scales shimmering in delicate watercolor strokes. Every fin and curve is rendered with precision, as if caught mid-motion in some unseen current. The creature feels alive, yet its identity remains a mystery, inviting closer study.
Morchella deliciosa (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

Delicate ridges spiral up the Morchella deliciosa’s honeycombed cap, each hollow catching the light. This fungus isn’t just edible—it’s a labyrinth of flavor, its curves hiding earthy depths beneath that pale, pitted surface. One bite unravels centuries of foraging lore.
Saddled Chestnut in the Stable

Emil Volkers (German, 1831–1905)

A chestnut horse stands in the stable, its coat gleaming under dim light. The saddle rests loosely on its back, straps dangling—recently ridden or ready to go. Hay scents the air. There’s patience in its stance, a quiet readiness. The stall surrounds it like a second skin.
Poissons, ecrevisses et crabes, de diverses couleurs et figures extraordinaires.. Pl.011 (1718-1719)

Louis Renard (French, 1678–1746)

Vibrant fish dart across the page, their scales shimmering in impossible hues. A crimson crab claws at a cobalt crayfish, both creatures twisted into fantastical shapes. The sea teems with life—each specimen more bizarre than the last, as if plucked from a fevered dream of the ocean’s depths.
Zeitloss (1692)

Magdelena Rosina Funck (German, unknown)

Delicate veins trace through petals, sharp lines carving life into paper. A stem curls with precision, each thorn placed as if by nature’s own hand. Shadows pool beneath leaves, depth conjured from ink and patience. Here, a flower exists beyond bloom—etched, enduring, unyielding to time.
Jamaica Parrot, or White-Fronted Amazon (1884-1887)

Alexander Francis Lydon (English, 1836–1917)

Vibrant green feathers contrast with the parrot’s striking white forehead. Its curved beak hints at a sharp intelligence, while the dark eyes seem to study the viewer as intently as they study it. The watercolor captures every delicate feather with precision, bringing this tropical bird to life on the page.
Parrot fish (1872) (1)

Frank Edward Clarke (New Zealander, 1864–1935)

A parrotfish glides through turquoise water, its scales shimmering like crushed gemstones. The delicate watercolor strokes trace every iridescent curve, as if the fish might dart off the page with a flick of its tail.
