About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Egbert van der Poel, this Dutch Golden Age scene captures the daily bustle of a fish market by the harbor. The artist masterfully balances the detailed activity of merchants and townsfolk with a dramatic, light-filled sky, creating a sense of both movement and atmospheric stillness.
