A still life painting depicting three fish on a table. The largest fish, light-colored with a pinkish tint, lies on its side on a plate. Two darker fish are stacked on top of each other behind it. The plate holds a red tomato and is accompanied by three green peppers to the left. Behind the plate, a tall, dark object stands on the left, and a red and white bowl sits on the right. The background is dark brown, and the overall atmosphere is dimly lit. The painting is titled "Still Life: Fish" and is by William Merritt Chase.
