Lampetra fluviatilis and Congridae, 1 river lamprey nine eyes, 2 sea eel - Anselmus Botius de Boodt

In this art print of Lampetra fluviatilis and Congridae, the composition favors meticulous observation: the nine-eyed river lamprey stands out against a neutral background while two sea eels curve their bodies with an almost musical fluidity. The colors remain faithful to the original, blending earthy tones and marine shades to reproduce the viscous texture of the scales and the transparency of the fins. The illustration technique, close to naturalist study, highlights anatomical details and creates an atmosphere both scientific and contemplative, inviting the eye to scrutinize every line.
