About the piece
Created in 1826 by artist Hércules Florence during an expedition in Brazil, this watercolor study of a Salmo Dourado exemplifies the meticulous nature of early 19th-century scientific illustration. The work features delicate washes of color and fine linework, accompanied by graceful handwritten notations detailing the specimen's origin on the Tietê River.
