“Eel Walking” by Mark Newman (2009) —

a bronze masterpiece of small-scale sculpture, standing about 50 cm tall. Only 20 original copies exist, hidden away in private collections. At auctions, the figurine fetches $5,000–$7,000. The work’s highlight lies in its illusion: the fish’s body skillfully conceals the girl’s thighs, creating a hypnotic effect of a single, fluid dance beneath the water.
