Artist, American, 1885 - 1965

The sculpture depicts the outline of a fish carved into a rectangular piece of material. The sculpture is primarily dark green and appears to be made of wood or a similar material, with the carved lines exposing a rougher, slightly lighter surface underneath. The fish is shown in profile, with its body adorned with sporadic patterns that resemble scales, and its tail fin distinctly detailed with straight lines. The fish appears to be slightly raised from the base, giving it a three-dimensional appearance. The overall depth of the carving is shallow, resulting in a flat, relief-like image relative to the base material.
