Weather Vane (Fish)

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a fish-shaped weather vane. The image features a symmetrical, sculptural representation of a fish in shades of blue and green. The fish displays a traditional weathervane design, with its body horizontal and an axis with a small bulb-like structure at the bottom. The scales have a repetitive, overlapping pattern, and the fins and tail are well-defined with lined details. The background is plain.
