The image displays bold black curved lines outlining a fish, with zigzag and cross-hatch patterns across the body. Set against a blue background, wavy lines suggest water motion. The fish's face features a single black circle for an eye. Details like the fin and tail emerge from the abstract form. In the bottom right, text reads "HARRY ABRAMS INC." with an address and the artist's signature "Milton Avery."
