Five sardines and small fish swim across a textured cream ground in muted blue ink, rendered in a classical natural history illustration style with fine linear detail and subtle cross-hatching. The word "SARDINES" appears below in bold red capitals, grounding the composition with a vintage commercial sensibility that evokes mid-century packaging and print artwork. At home in a kitchen, dining room, or seafood lover's gallery wall. A Baltic birch top with the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. The center of the room as an independent artist's work, not a flat-pack lookalike.
