About this work

This drawing shows two fish swimming side by side, facing the same direction. The lines are sharp and detailed, especially around their scales and fins. The background is mostly empty, with just a few faint lines suggesting water movement. The artist focused on the fish’s textures—notice how the scales look almost three-dimensional. The signature in the corner says "Hugh Seaver," but nothing else is labeled. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of their collection.
