About the piece

Attributed to Adriaen van Utrecht, this 1634 oil painting captures the bustling energy of an Antwerp fish market. A noblewoman in a striking black veil and green gown points toward a bounty of seafood, including cod, rays, and salmon, while a red-sleeved vendor presents her wares amidst baskets of citrus fruit and a curious spaniel.
