Decaying Sander is a 1892 oil by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a decaying fish floating in the water. The fish is a pale brown color and has a large head with sharp teeth. It's lying on its side, with its belly facing upwards. The background is dark and murky, with ripples in the water. The fish is the main focus of the painting, and the artist has used bold brushstrokes to capture its texture and detail. The dark background helps to highlight the fish's pale color, making it stand out even more.
