Rouget 1897

"Rouget" is a stylized illustration by Maurice Pillard Verneuil, created in 1897. The artwork features three fish, likely red mullet, swimming amongst a stylized underwater plant. The fish are rendered in a detailed manner, with emphasis on their fins and scales, while the plants have a more decorative, almost Art Nouveau quality. The overall composition is balanced and visually appealing, making the piece a perfect example of Verneuil's distinct style.
