A fish swims in the water and a bird perches on a nearby branch while a full moon hangs in the night sky at upper left, all rendered in shades of blue apart from the yellow eyes of the animals. Signed "MAIK 73," lower left, and additionally signed "Maik" and numbered "1654" en verso. Titled and inscribed "WFCH" (Wally Findlay Gallery, Chicago) and "#51476" to stretcher.
