About the piece

Attributed to the circle of Abraham van Beijeren around 1650, this oil painting captures the diverse textures of a maritime catch. Shimmering fish scales, intricate shells, and a detailed crab are rendered with the sophisticated lighting and earthy palette characteristic of European Golden Age still lifes.
