About the piece

Painted in 1646 by Alexander Adriaenssen, this oil on panel work is a masterclass in the Flemish still life tradition. The composition balances the cool, shimmering scales of fish in brass basins with the soft plumage of small birds and the velvety skin of peaches, all set against a deep, atmospheric backdrop that emphasizes the play of light across various surfaces.
