Description
Four botanical specimens of algae and corallines are arranged in a gridded composition, rendered in delicate pen and watercolor with golden and sepia tones dominating the upper and lower right specimens while the others remain as refined line drawings. The naturalistic study captures the intricate branching structures and organic forms of marine plant life with scientific precision, evoking the careful observation practices of 19th-century natural history illustration. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
