About the piece
Created around 1660 by Abraham van Beijeren, this oil on canvas work exemplifies the Dutch tradition of the fish still life. The artist demonstrates exceptional skill in capturing the iridescent scales of the fish and the varied textures of the crab and metallic baskets, all brought to life through a sophisticated use of light against a deep, moody background.
