A horizontal etching in fine black ink depicts a collection of fish and butterflies scattered across a light ground. At the far left, a spotted fish swims upward beside a larger, scaled fish curving toward the center. The surrounding space is filled with butterflies of various sizes. Some display spread wings with intricate patterns and hatching, while others appear in profile. Precise linework and stippling create diverse textures throughout.
