About the piece

Attributed to the Dutch artist Pieter van Noort around 1650, this still life is a fine example of the period's fascination with culinary and maritime themes. The composition features a shimmering carp and smaller perch resting on a heavy wooden ledge, accompanied by a fishing rod and a wicker basket, all rendered in a sophisticated palette of warm ochres and silvery greys.
