Panel with Fish, Bats, and Clouds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a square panel with a central figure of a fish facing forward, accompanied by four bats positioned in each corner. The fish features a scale-like pattern on its body and fins. The bats are depicted in a flying posture, with their wings spread. The background of the panel showcases a design of clouds and waves in shades of black, white, and gray. The entire design is set against a gray background with a white border around the edges. The panel appears to be titled "Panel with Fish, Bats, and Clouds" and attributed to an artist.
