A little colour for Tuesday! 🐟

I love these old natural history illustrations, particularly when the colours are as wonderful as these.

Three rather splendid pink and red fish from Histoire Naturelle des Poissons, with all that lovely warm, aged paper around them.

We’ve framed this one in our Auden frame, hand painted in Farrow & Ball De Nimes. I think the blue-grey works beautifully with the pinks and reds, and it’s a combination I’d happily use in an interior too.

Who says old art has to look old-fashioned?
