The image depicts a painting titled "Fishes" by Seki Shūkō. The painting features three fish swimming in water, with one large fish in the foreground and two smaller fish behind it. The large fish faces left and has a light gray body with darker spots and a darker stripe running along its back. The two smaller fish are positioned above and to the left of the large fish, with one behind the other, both facing right; the top fish is light brown with darker spots and the bottom fish is light gray with darker spots. The background of the painting is a light beige color, representing water, with wavy lines suggesting movement. The painting has a brown border around the edges with a light-brown floral pattern. On the right side of the painting, there is a vertical line of black Japanese characters, accompanied by two red seals below them. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains blurry, unreadable black text.
