A naturalistic study of the heads of two leather carp specimens, done in graphite pencil. Dated January 31, 1958, this drawing highlights the characteristic morphological details of the species: barbels, operculum structure, and fin placement. The work is by Marcel Bourgeois, an ichthyologist and illustrator active between the 1940s and 1970s. A regular contributor to numerous books on fishing and ornamental fish, he is renowned for the rigorous quality of his scientific drawings.
