Artist, American, 1911 - 1957

This is a drawing of an ornamental fish sculpture. The drawing features two depictions of a decorative fish shape, one in detailed shading revealing a three-dimensional form, and the other as a simple line drawing. The fish design appears stylized with exaggerated features such as an open mouth, pronounced eyes, and detailed scales. The shaded drawing captures the texture and curves of the imagined sculpture, giving it a semblance of depth and realism, while the line drawing shows the basic contours and form. The signature and date "Albert Gespert 1938" are present on the upper left corner of the paper.
