EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "Coris picta" or the Comb Wrasse, is a stunning representation of this vibrant and intricately patterned fish species native to the waters of Australia and the Indo-Pacific region. Painted by the renowned English naturalist and illustrator, Thomas Watling, in the late 18th century, this artwork is part of the extensive Watling Collection, showcasing his remarkable talent and dedication to documenting the natural world. The Comb Wrasse, also known as the Masked Wrasse or the Striped Wrasse, is a medium-sized bony fish belonging to the Labridae family, which is characterized by its distinctive comb-like structures on its head. These structures are used for display purposes during mating rituals and as a means of defense against predators. The Coris picta is a popular subject among marine biologists and aquarists due to its striking appearance and interesting behaviors. The fish is found in various reef environments and lagoons, where it feeds on small invertebrates and algae. This beautiful watercolor painting, with its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, provides a captivating glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating fish species. The oval shape of the artwork, framed by elegant lines, enhances the sense of depth and realism, making it a true masterpiece of the 18th-century naturalist tradition.
