Fish Weather Vane

Albert Ryder

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a fish crafted from light-colored wood. The fish has a smooth, elongated body with a circular eye and engraved lines suggesting scales and fins. Its shape includes a slightly tapered tail and a fin on top. Attached to the bottom is a small cylindrical piece. The wooden finish gives it a warm, organic appearance.
