Oil on linen canvas (Caravaggio 514)
The work belongs to a series of smaller-format paintings, marking the final piece within that sequence. An intended element — a figure of a man wearing a hard hat in a canoe — remains absent, as the process was interrupted by the material limits of drying paint.
This absence becomes conceptually significant. The implied figure would perceive only the sky mirrored in the water, remaining unaware of the fish moving beneath. The composition thus reflects on selective perception — on the tendency to register surface reflections while overlooking underlying realities.
