About the piece
Painted around 1680 by Jacob Esselens, this oil on canvas depicts a bustling beach scene where fishermen prepare to sell their catch. The composition is dominated by a vast, luminous sky, characteristic of Dutch maritime painting, which dwarfs the grounded sailing vessels and groups of figures along the shoreline.
