About the piece
Painted in 1687, this oil-on-canvas by Jacob Gillig showcases the artist's specialized skill in rendering the shimmering, pearlescent textures of fish. The composition brings together various marine life and shells on a shoreline, set against a somber, atmospheric Dutch landscape that highlights the silver tones of the catch.
