Black and white stencil artwork titled "Stencil with Two Carp in Water" by an unknown artist. Two large fish with detailed scales and fins are positioned diagonally across the artwork, one above the other, both swimming to the right. The top fish has a geometric pattern on its body and fins. The bottom fish has similar patterns but with more flowing lines and details on its fins and tail. The background features swirling water patterns and several bubbles of various sizes scattered around the fish. The overall design is intricate with a mix of sharp geometric and smooth curvilinear lines. The artwork is rectangular in shape.
