Fish Weather Vane

Michael Riccitelli

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a fish with its aquatic features like the tail, fins, and eyes. The fish is oriented horizontally, with a cylindrical rod passing through its midsection. The material appears to be wood, evident from the visible grain and texture. The color of the sculpture is a natural, subdued wood tone. Its size and form show intricate detailing that captures the shape and details of a real fish.
