Hippocampus Mythical Creature Illustration | Classical Sea Horse Art #1948409 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed black-and-white line drawing portrays a hippocampus-a creature from classical mythology with the head and forequarters of a horse and the scaly, finned tail of a fish. The artwork captures dynamic motion as the creature rises from stylized ocean waves, its flowing mane and ornate scales rendered with intricate hatching and cross-contour lines. The style evokes 19th-century natural history engravings or antique bestiary illustrations.
