This drawing depicts a fish in profile, whose head, eye and fins are rendered by a play of fine lines and more pronounced shadows. The sobriety of the composition emphasizes anatomical observation and the materiality of the paper.

Ink and pencil allow combining strong linear accents with lighter modulations. Hatching and contour reprises construct here the volumes of the fish without resorting to color.

Condition: Good condition.
