Gerres filamentosus

Hoare, William Webster, 1869, Artwork, PRG 294/4/22

Although lighter in application of colour than others in this group, Hoare has achieved a realism and accuracy in this marine life sketch. To achieve accurate colour, the artist has closely referred to the fish. The examination of colour and variation of texture of the entire specimen is noteworthy, including a good representation of silver underbelly using feather-light, cross hatched application of colour. This example is also strong in anatomical detail, especially in the areas of the eye, mouth and fin. The item bears a similar appearance to bream or sea perch.
