This image depicts an intricately detailed illustration of a fish. The fish is drawn in a profile view against a plain, off-white background, which highlights its features and form.

The fish has a prominent dorsal fin that sharply points upwards and a similar-shaped anal fin below. Its body tapers to a smaller caudal (tail) fin with crescent-like edges. The scales of the fish are meticulously rendered in a criss-cross pattern that gives the illustration texture and a sense of realism. The fish has a distinct red blush on its gill cover, which stands out against its otherwise silvery-grey body, and its eye is large and detailed.

There are annotations on the image: Text appearing above the fish in a different script, possibly East Asian characters, and text at the lower right side in a cursive script that reads "Nature 2me del. Sculp." which suggests that the image was hand-drawn and engraved by the denoted artist. The scientific appearance of the illustration suggests it could be from a biology book or a scientific study on marine life.
