National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a fish skeleton in a monochromatic color palette. The fish skeleton extends from the head to the tail, positioned diagonally across the image. Below the fish, there is text in Latin, and the artist's inscription "Pesce Cappone" is near the lower right of the fish's head.
