The intricate details and delicate lines bring these crustaceans to life, capturing their essence with remarkable precision. Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, this artwork measures 24.7x34.3 cm and is a testament to Sargent's talent as an American artist.

The prawns are carefully arranged against a blank background, allowing us to appreciate their elegant forms and textures. Their elongated bodies curve gracefully while their intricate patterns add depth to the overall composition. The choice of subject matter evokes thoughts of seafood delicacies or perhaps even marine life conservation. These creatures symbolize both fragility and strength within our oceans' ecosystems.
