Chub is a 1855 unspecified by Edward William Cooke, depicting Fish, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a fish, likely a chub, lying on its side on a bed of moss and twigs. The fish's scales shimmer in shades of brown and silver, while its fins are dark brown. The background is a mottled brown color, with some green visible behind the fish. The painting is quite detailed, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The fish's eyes are particularly well-rendered, giving the impression that it is looking directly at the viewer. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this painting.
