A large carp with burnished scales swims horizontally through the composition, framed by delicate kelp fronds and decorative circular forms rendered in naturalistic detail. The piece employs a classical natural history illustration style, with warm earth tones, deep greens, and coral red accents contained within a double-lined border that suggests a centuries-old scientific study. At home in a study, library, or dining room with a collector's sensibility. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
