About the piece
This 1888 oil painting by Edouard Chappel presents a classic kitchen scene from the late 19th century. The composition focuses on a large, luminescent halibut, whose pale scales contrast sharply with the dark, moody atmosphere of the fisherman's interior, complete with oilskin gear and rustic wooden tools.
