This is plate 85 from Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur, devoted to the Ascidiae, or sea squirts. The page presents several numbered colonies in soft, faded pink and grey-blue tones. The paper margins and printed headings remain visible, so it reads as a page from a book of natural history illustrations. The arrangement invites you to look closely at each form in turn, and to enjoy the delicate, muted palette.
On your wall: Its soft pinks and grey-blues suit calm spaces such as a study, bedroom or hallway, especially where a quiet botanical or natural history look is wanted.
