Parra Fish 0026 380bd5e21c34
Artista: Antonio Parra
Siglo XVIII · Cuba
Colección: Antonio Parra
This work by Antonio Parra presents a meticulous illustration of two species of tropical fish, identified as "Chernia" (fig. 1) and "Jabonsillo" (fig. 2), likely from his influential study on Cuban fauna. The style is characteristic of 18th-century natural history plates, combining the scientific precision of engraving with subtle touches of color that enhance the textures and patterns of the specimens. This technique allows for a detailed representation of the anatomy and coloration, offering a valuable document for the ichthyology of the era.
