EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts the African Murex, specifically the Hexaplex duplex, a type of large, pale-colored mollusk belonging to the Muricidae family. The illustration is a masterpiece by Sarah Stone, an English artist active during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The painting is part of the extensive collection of Sir Ashton Lever, a renowned British collector and naturalist. The African Murex, also known as the African Muricid or the Rock Snail, is a large, complex gastropod, characterized by its intricately patterned shell. This particular species is native to the African coastline, where it can be found attached to rocks in shallow waters. The Hexaplex duplex is a one-foot-long mollusk, with a distinctive, spiral-shaped shell bearing six prominent ribs. The painting, executed in watercolor, showcases the delicate beauty of the African Murex's shell in its pale, almost translucent state. The attention to detail is remarkable, with the ribbing and texture of the shell rendered with great care and precision. The painting also provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating invertebrate, which was a subject of great interest during the 18th century. Sarah Stone's artwork is a testament to the natural world's wonders and the artistic skill of the past. This illustration, from the collection of Sir Ashton Lever, is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or marine art.
