Two views of a lamprey is a 1884 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Two watercolour studies of a lamprey, an eel-like jawless fish, are depicted from different perspectives. One view shows the fish from above, while the other presents a side profile. These works were created by Beatrix Potter in October 1884 at the age of eighteen. The drawings are part of the Linder Bequest, acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973.
