"Exotic Fish" refers to a collection of illustrations from the early 19th century, specifically around the period of 1805 to 1818, that depict various species of fish found in the region of Malacca. These drawings are part of a larger work titled "Drawings of Fishes from Malacca," attributed to an anonymous artist. The collection is significant for its detailed and accurate portrayal of marine life in the Malacca region during the early 1800s, offering valuable insights into the biodiversity and ecological knowledge of the time.

The illustrations in "Exotic Fish" are notable for their artistic quality and scientific accuracy, blending aesthetic appeal with empirical observation. Each drawing is meticulously detailed, capturing the unique physical characteristics of the fish species depicted. The collection serves not only as a historical record of marine biodiversity in Malacca but also as an example of the intersection between art and science in the early 19th century.

"Exotic Fish" and the broader "Drawings of Fishes from Malacca" are important artifacts in the study of both art history and ichthyology (the branch of zoology that deals with fish). They reflect the growing interest in natural history and the documentation of biodiversity during the period, driven by exploratory expeditions and colonial interests in Southeast Asia. The anonymity of the artist adds an element of mystery to the collection, inviting speculation about their identity and motivations.

Today, "Exotic Fish" is appreciated not only for its historical and scientific value but also for its contribution to the cultural heritage of Malacca and the broader region. The drawings are a testament to the rich marine life of the area and the early efforts to document and understand the natural world.
