Vertical rectangular artwork on a light brown background with darker brown bands across top and bottom. A white border surrounds the artwork. A dark-colored carp is depicted swimming upward near the bottom right. The carp's body faces left and angles upward, its head and back mostly out of the water. The carp's scales are dark on top and gradually become lighter toward the bottom. A small red circle sits below the carp. A small signature is in the bottom-right corner.
