About the piece

Painted in 1666 by Abraham van Beijeren, this oil on canvas work is a quintessential example of 17th-century Dutch 'fish pieces'. The composition showcases the artist's skill in rendering diverse textures—from the shimmering scales of the fish to the rough surface of the woven baskets—all set against a dramatic, dark backdrop that emphasizes the vibrant oranges of the salmon.
