A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts several dead fish on crumpled paper. In the lower right, a large fish head lies on its side with a circular eye and open mouth. To the left, a gutted fish body reveals its ribbed interior and moist flesh. Sharp focus highlights shimmering silvery-gray scales against the translucent paper's dark folds, emphasizing the contrast between textured skin and soft, exposed muscle.
