Mermaid Anatomy is a detailed handmade linocut print exploring the mythical creature through a scientific lens. Surrounding a central mermaid skeleton are labeled anatomical studies — from the scale patterns to clawed webbed hands — blending fantasy with natural history illustration. Printed on handmade acid free Lokta paper, in an earthy Raw Umber Hue, this 12x16" piece, is a whimsical yet scholarly tribute to the anatomy of legends, perfect for lovers of mythical beasts, curiosities, and imaginative science.
"Homonekto syreni" (a sailors bane humanoid that can swim against the current) is a stylized scientific illustration block-print showing the different anatomical parts of a mermaid.
"C.J.Barbas del. et lino." in the bottom right means "drawn and linocut by C.J. Barbas" (that's me).
Each print is hand printed so there will be variations from print to print (for example some areas may look more faded or have more ink than others. This only adds to the hand made wonder of the artwork, but still please be aware)
Paper size ~12"x16", ink color: Raw umber Hue
