The rough, tactile stone base provides visual contrast to the iron, balancing the overall underwater scene. Materials appear authentic and high quality, with the iron showing no signs of corrosion or damage, and the stone base remaining intact. The sculpture is preserved in excellent condition, with no evidence of wear or restoration.

The reduced, geometric fish forms exemplify the era’s dialogue between handcraft and avant-garde experimentation—creative beauty emerging from an exploration of material and form. The iron surface draws the gaze, the fish appear to move through an imagined aquatic space, and each hammered accent reveals the attentive hand behind this period’s
