About the piece

Painted around 1660 by Abraham van Beijeren, this work is a quintessential example of the Dutch 'visstilleven' or fish still life. The composition features a variety of sea life, including cod and salmon, arranged with theatrical chiaroscuro that highlights the iridescent scales and natural forms against a somber, atmospheric background typical of the Golden Age.
