Boy Standing on Fish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sculpture titled "Boy Standing on Fish" by an unknown artist. The sculpture is made of light-colored stone, possibly jade, and depicts a boy standing on top of a fish. The fish is carved with scales and has a rounded body with a small tail visible at the bottom. The boy has a round face and appears to be standing with his legs apart on the fish's back. The sculpture sits on a dark-colored wooden stand with an ornate design. The stand has a wide base with curved legs and a decorative bowl-shaped top that supports the sculpture. The background of the image is a plain light-colored surface, possibly a table or wall, with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
