This exquisite watercolor painting depicts the Blue Lined Squirrelfish, Sargocentron tiere, a fascinating bony fish species of the Holocanthidae family. Created during Captain James Cook's first voyage to explore the southern continent between 1768 and 1771, this illustration is a testament to the rich discoveries and anatomical knowledge gained during this groundbreaking expedition. Captured in the vibrant hues of the 18th century, the Blue Lined Squirrelfish is depicted with its distinctive blue and pink coloration, accentuated by the intricate lines running along its body. Its single dorsal fin, forked tail, and large, expressive eye add to the fish's captivating appearance. As a member of the Actinopterygii class, Ray-finned Fish, and the Beryciformes order, this fish is an essential addition to the growing body of knowledge about the diverse marine life of the time. The painting, created by the skilled hand of Sydney Parkinson, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the era. The Blue Lined Squirrelfish, with its unique features and striking appearance, represents the spirit of adventure and discovery that characterized Captain James Cook's voyages.
