A naturalist illustration rendered in the tradition of 19th-century scientific plate work. The piece depicts fossilized skeletal forms with warm ochres and umbers against deep brown grounds, evoking the hand-painted plates of Haeckel and Owen. Created as part of a series exploring the intersection of scientific illustration and fine art.
