This painting depicts a dark brown teapot and a fish on a white cloth. The fish is mostly greenish gray, with some white and pale red scales. It appears to be propped up on something, perhaps a plate or another fish, and its head is facing the right. The teapot is on the left, with its spout turned towards us. The background is textured beige, and the white cloth below the objects has some small folds in it.
