Striking vintage gyotaku (fish print) artwork by Larry M. Smith, titled Silver Salmon. Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese method of printing from actual fish, developed in the mid-1800s as a way for fishermen to record their catches. Snethen's work captures the fine detail and natural texture of the salmon, printed in deep black ink on light paper, with a red artist's chop mark for authenticity.

This piece is signed and titled in pencil by the artist, beautifully presented in a silver-tone wood frame with linen matting. A perfect addition for collectors of Japanese-inspired art, fishing enthusiasts, or those seeking a bold, nature-inspired statement piece.
