DescriptionIn the center of this three-color lithograph proof for Fish Fantasy, there is a couple sit on the ground facing each other. The man faces right, with his proper right arm hanging at his side. His extended left arm reaches past the woman’s proper left shoulder to offer a bouquet. She faces left. Their large eyes don’t really make contact. Above their heads, a skeletal fish is contained within an oval border. To either side of the couple, a running bird.Provenance
