About this work

This print shows a busy mix of birds and fish scattered across a plain background. The birds vary in size—some small and simple, others large with detailed feathers. Fish of different shapes swim near them, all drawn in bold black lines. Notice how the artist packed so many animals into one space without crowding. The lines are sharp, and the birds’ feathers look almost textured. If you like this style, check out Impressionism next.
