Bark painting of one fish

A wonderful "x-ray" bark painting of a fish, probably Barrumundi. This is painted in the traditional style and with the use of cross-hatching or rarrk. Although it is not signed, it was purchased with a group of Bobby Ngainjmirra bark paintings in Queensland, Australia, in the 1970s.
