Titled "Alphestes afer, before 1793" this watercolor on paper masterpiece measures 26.5x46 cm and is currently housed at Humboldt-Universitaet in Berlin, Germany. The painting depicts Alphestes afer, commonly known as Das afrikanische Bloedauge or African Blood Eye, which was drawn for reproduction in Marcus Elieser Bloch's renowned work "Naturgeschichte der auslaendischen Fische" (Natural History of Foreign Fish), specifically featured in its seventh volume published in Berlin back in 1793. With meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, this artwork captures the essence of marine life. The fish appears majestic and lifelike against a backdrop that exudes tranquility.
