Seahorse Underwater Illustration by Brittany (2016)

This is a vertical contemporary artwork depicting a seahorse in an underwater environment. The piece appears to be rendered in colored pencil or pastel on a textured paper or cardstock substrate. The central subject, a seahorse, is illustrated with a color palette of peach, orange, and tan tones, showing detailed anatomical features such as the coronet, dorsal fin, and a prehensile tail curved inward. The background features a deep teal or sea-green hue with vertical light rays or 'god rays' shimmering through the water column. The foreground and sides are populated with stylized marine flora in shades of olive green and pale yellow, suggesting kelp or seagrass. The artwork is signed 'Brittany' and dated '2016' in the lower right corner in black ink script. Notable condition issues include a visible vertical crease or dent near the top left corner and slight surface bowing, likely due to the medium's application or storage. The technique demonstrates a focused attention to texture and light, characteristic of amateur or student-level hobbyist art from the early 21st century. The work is unframed and lacks a visible mounting system.
