Note: This is a colour variation on the piece illustrated in Ramie. It is perhaps amusing to have the colour variation of “Blue Fish” coloured Green! A similar colour variant was sold in the Sothebys New York sale (26/9/2007 - Lot 00143) EST $3/$5k - sold $11,250. The work obviously found a much higher price, back in the day, being a rarer version of this item.
