"Skate" (La Raie) is an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, completed in 1728. It is one of Chardin's most celebrated still-life works and is renowned for its realistic representation and the subtle interplay of light and texture. The painting depicts a skinned ray-fish, also known as a skate, alongside various other objects, including a copper pot, a pestle and mortar, and a small, sliced onion on a stone ledge. The composition is noted for its simplicity and the artist's skillful use of muted colors and nuanced shadows to evoke the tactile qualities of the depicted objects.

Chardin's "Skate" is often interpreted as a meditation on the themes of mortality and the transience of life, a common motif in still-life painting. The work is also seen as a testament to Chardin's ability to elevate the genre of still life, traditionally considered inferior to historical and mythological subjects, to a level of high art through his masterful technique and the dignity he imparts to everyday objects.

The painting is part of the collection at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its quiet beauty and technical prowess. Chardin's influence on the still-life genre was profound, and his work, including "Skate," has been celebrated for its impact on later artists and its contribution to the development of modern still-life painting.
