Lepidotus Fish

Cleveland Museum of Art

Metal sculpture of a fish titled "Lepidotus Fish" by artist Henry Moore. The sculpture is lying on its side on a flat surface. The body of the fish is made of dark gray metal with a textured surface to resemble fish scales. The scales are depicted in a repeating pattern of small, overlapping circles. The fins and tail are triangular and pointed. The dorsal fin is located near the middle of the back, and the tail fin is long and forked. The head of the fish is rounded, with a small eye and a closed mouth. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
