Aspic Mold

Philip Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a fish crafted in a rounded, curled position with detailed scales and fins. The material appears to be dark stone against a pale background. The fish is shown in two layers of detail: a more intricate sketch above a solid sculpture. The base sketch shows an upright rendition while the solid stone captures a 3-dimensional view of the fish.
