Small Swordfish
Oil on linen on MDF
50x148mm
I found this tiny fish washed up on the beach the other day. I've no idea what species it is but it appears to be some kind of swordfish? I've no idea how big it's supposed to grow but I painted it pretty much life size.
Note: Thanks to all the response regarding this little fish I can now reliably state that it is a "Piper",
Hyporhamphus ihi
