About the piece
Attributed to A. van Doeff around 1650, this compelling still life captures the textures of the sea with remarkable contrast. A large fish dominates the center, flanked by a detailed lobster and crab, while a hanging squid adds a striking vertical element to the composition. This work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with the natural world and dramatic light-on-dark effects.
