The image displays a long, horizontally angled fish with a protruding snout at the bottom, and a branch with green elongated leaves, small yellow flowers, and brown buds filling the upper portion. The color palette includes muted greens, browns, yellows, and a touch of pinkish patterning on the fish. The fish is partially overlapped by the branch of foliage in the foreground, with the foliage extending upwards behind the fish and across the upper part of the image.
