"F99 A Fishes" is a notable work by English artist and surgeon William Ellis, created during his travels with the celebrated British explorer Captain James Cook on his third and final voyage between 1776 and 1780. The artwork captures a unique essence of marine life encountered by the crew during their exploration of the Pacific Ocean.

Born in 1751, Ellis was not only an accomplished artist but also served as a surgeon on Cook's ship, HMS Discovery. His professional background lent an enhanced level of detail and accuracy to his artworks, and "F99 A Fishes" is a testament to his scientific precision and aesthetic sensibility. Poorly understood at the time in European scientific communities, the marine life Ellis observed during the voyage provided novel subject matter for his work.

"F99 A Fishes" is primarily executed in watercolor, a medium that allowed Ellis to capture the vibrant hues and intricate textures of the fish. The style employed in the painting combines scientific objectivity with a remarkable sensitivity to the beauty of the natural world, reflecting the dual influence of the Enlightenment spirit of inquiry and the Romantic appreciation for nature's aesthetics.

While specifics regarding the creation of the individual artwork such as the exact date, geographical location, or the species of the fish depicted are not fully documented, the painting is a significant piece of the broader collection of Ellis's works. It offers invaluable insights into the nature-centric exploration era of the 18th century and serves as a rich resource for both art historians and marine biologists. The painting is currently preserved in a museum, contributing to our understanding of historical scientific exploration and the accompanying artistic documentation.
