Verschillende zeedieren 1778

"Verschillende zeedieren" (Various Sea Creatures) is a 1778 print by Dutch artist Robbert Muys. The detailed drawing depicts a variety of marine invertebrates, including a jellyfish, a worm-like creature, and a crab-like organism. The use of precise lines and delicate shading gives a sense of scientific accuracy, typical of 18th-century natural history illustrations. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the scientific exploration of marine life during the Enlightenment.
