Three slender fish with pointed snouts intertwined with branches and green leaves on a light ground
Detailed Description
Three long, slender fish with pointed snouts are arranged around a central cluster of branches and foliage against a plain, light beige background. The fish are depicted with light gray bodies, lighter undersides, and subtle dark gray markings along their backs and fins. Their eyes are small and dark. Two of the fish are positioned horizontally, their bodies curving around a gnarled, light brown branch. One fish is above, its head pointing left, and its tail curving down to the right. The second fish is below, its head pointing right, and its body curving upwards and to the left, crossing over the first fish's body. A third fish is positioned vertically on the left, its head pointing upwards and its tail extending downwards, partially obscured by the other elements. The branches are light brown with some darker accents, and they have small, feathery, dark green or brown shoots at their ends. To the left of the branches, a cluster of roundish, light green leaves with visible veins is depicted. Below the central arrangement, a few thin, white, wavy lines are present. In the lower right corner, vertical text in dark ink reads "明陽柚江香", followed by two red square seals. The entire composition is framed by a thin, gold-colored border.
