The image depicts a candlestick holder shaped like a fish standing upright on its tail. It is a single color with varying shades of light gray, emphasizing its texture and form. The background is plain off-white. The fish's mouth is open at the bottom, and its tail curves up to support the candlestick section. The rectangular base is at the bottom center, directly under the fish. The signature "GERTRUDE LONDRES" is in the lower right corner.
