Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts three fish in light blue-grey water with subtle ripples. The background is a pale, almost white, blue-grey, with faint horizontal lines. Three fish are arranged diagonally across the lower two-thirds of the composition, all facing towards the left. The largest fish is positioned at the bottom left, with a medium-sized fish above and slightly to its right. A smaller, more faintly rendered fish is at the top center, appearing further away. All fish have grey bodies with lighter undersides and fins, and visible scales. The water around them shows gentle, undulating lines. In the bottom right corner, there is a vertical column of black calligraphic text, which reads "羽陽柚江寫", followed by two square red seals stacked vertically below the text.
