About the piece
Painted in 1915 by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, this oil study captures the quiet drama of pike and perch in an aquarium. The composition uses a muted palette of moss greens, deep shadows, and subtle highlights to create a sophisticated, naturalistic atmosphere characteristic of European naturalist painting.
