Catfish

Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A horizontal painting on a solid black ground. The main figure is a fish with the head of a cat. The head, at the left, is a round orange cat's face dotted with small yellow-ringed circles, with pointed striped ears, wide yellow eyes with black pupils, a golden muzzle speckled in black, a smiling pink mouth and long violet whiskers. Behind it the body opens into overlapping fins: a pale blue panel marked with blue and pink teardrops, a crimson field of white dotting, a violet underside edged in a row of small beads, and a tall crest of magenta and orange stripes rising along the back. The tail sweeps up to the upper right in bands of orange, red and violet. A smaller fish swims at the lower left, blue-headed and striped, its fins fanning out in fine lines. Green fronds dotted with yellow and pink rise from the bottom edge and the right corner.
