    Torquigener glaber (Tas) – Pufferfish.

    Frank Edward Clarke (New Zealander, 1864–1935)

    The pufferfish hovers mid-water, its spines faintly outlined against the pale wash of ocean light. Every detail—the taut skin, the delicate fins—rendered with clinical precision, yet the creature seems poised to dart or inflate at any moment. A silent tension lingers in the stillness.
