Dark painting of smoked fish, two hanging and two lying down, lit by golden highlights against a near-black background.

Two smoked fish hang from a dark, unseen support above two more lying on a dim surface, their sides lit by warm golden highlights. Loose, thick brushstrokes model the silvery-brown skins against a nearly black background, with a signature visible at upper left.
