About the piece
Painted during his time in Paris in 1886, this still life captures Vincent van Gogh's transition into more expressive techniques. The arrangement of prawns and mussels is brought to life through thick, rhythmic brushstrokes and a sophisticated palette of deep umbers, burnt oranges, and cool blues, elevating a simple kitchen subject into a compelling study of form and texture.
